Hello there...

I recently posted to this group asking about postscript converters for
the ST. Due to end of year exams (that have at last finished!) I was
unable (time-wise) to post/mail replies to all those who requested
followup info. I also can't post internationally so for those of you
in the States and all the others I will summarize here and now.

Basically all the replies I received with info on the subject talked
about a program called 

1wd2ps     (or, I think this is the same program.)
1stwd2ps

Apparently this can be obtained from PD libraries etc. It converts 1st
word format file to postscript. Someone posted a copy to me (thanks
beau :-). I have yet to get it to ST floppy (tomorrows task!) and try
it.

The other solution was to use something like TimeWorks DTP, but I
think (if I caught the gist of the discussion correctly) it will only
produce postscript with the aid of a harddisk. It also costs money!-).

That's all for now...

Thanks to all of you who mailed/posted replies, they were most
helpful.

Frank.
