Well, it may create PostScript but it won't write it to disk.
First, PageStream V1.0 crashed so fast that I never got to actually
attempting to print anything.  But, yesterday I went to see of there
was anything that works on an Atari that will produce PostScript (before
we trash the 1040 and buy an Amiga).  I played with Calimus which seems
like a great program but it doesn't talk PostScript (yet).  So, I loaded
PageStream V1.5 to test it out.  Upon entering a command to write
PostScript to a disk file it crashed.  Oh well.
