I have heard of the existentence of two software products:
"Freedom of Press" and "Professional Output Manager" that run
on a Mac and can image color PostScript files on a variety of
film recorders (Lasergraphics, Montage).

Does anyone have experience with these products? Besides the
accuracy of the output, I'm interested in performance (how long
does it take) and ease of use.

To be specific: Suppose I have created a presentation
consisting of twenty slides in Microsoft PowerPoint. I know
that when I fill in e.g. "page 2 to 2" in the LaserWriter print
dialog box and type Command-K during printing, I get a
PostScript file of the second slide. But do I have to do this
20 times to generate 20 different PostScript files, or will
these packages (FOP & POM) accept a PostScript file that
contains all 20 slides?
