Hi there to everyone out there in Atari ST-land or Mac-land (I cross-posted
this to comp.sys.atari.st and comp.sys.mac).
     
Here's an interesting problem that I'm faced with:
I own and use an Atari ST and have some programs (Publishing Partner,
First Word) that can (one way or another) generate PostScript output.
(No flames, please from those in Mac-land...that's not the problem :-))
The problem is that the only way that I can gain access to a LaserWriter
is through a Macintosh Appletalk network.  While it is possible to
transfer the text files to a Macintosh (my roommate's) using a modem,
that will not always be an availible option.  Therefore, is there any way
that I can get a Macintosh to read files written by my ST?  I know that the
floppy chips are similar, but not exactly the same (or is it the drives?)
I also know that the ST can be kluged to write 800K disks (I read it on the
net somewhere).  My question is, can the ST write files that are readable
by the Mac?  I don't need the files to *run* on the Mac;  I just want to write
a PostScript text file from my ST and be able to read it on a Mac and dump
it to the LaserWriter.  I have not been able to get any info on the Mac disk
formats yet, so I don't even know if it is electrically (magnetically?)
possible.
     
Does anyone in either plane of existance have any ideas on a possible
compromise format?  I can program and kluge for the ST, but I have no
tools to program a Mac.  What about Magic Sac format?  What about an
intermediate format not known to either computer (yet)?  Any and all
comments, either E-mailed or  posted to comp.sys.atari.st or comp.sys.mac
would be *greatly* appreciated.  This is a real puzzle.  Thank you...
