Can someone tell me if it is possible to output from EasyDraw or some
other drafting program to a postscript device (say an Apple Laserwriter)?
I don't have EasyDraw and one of the things that stops me is the price
of a nice printer. So here is what I want to do:
(1) create documents or pictures on my 520st
(2) store them in a postscript (or Talaris) compatable form in a file
(3) upload them via kermit to my local mainframe
(4) spool them out on the laser printer there.
This would seem to be a great solution as it lets me use the convenience
of my 520 with the great output quality of the multithousand dollar printers
that I have at work. Does anyone have any comments or suggestions on
this "wishlist"? If there is any interest I'll summarise responses to
the net.
thanks a lot,
Peter LOrraine
ps: By the way, I remember Spacewar fondly and would be very interested
in obtaining a copy from the earlier posting.
