	I recently downloaded macps-22.shar from sumex-aim.stanford.edu
and I have a question about its use. I have gotten the program to work
without a problem using postcript output from MS Word 4.0.
	The problem I have is concerning Apple's copyright on the 
Laserprep file. To use the program you need the postcript commands from
the LaserPrep file. (Created by printing a blank document and stripping
a few things off of the end). I want to put this program on a multi-user
unix machine, but I need to know if putting the appropriate LaserPrep
output file on the unix host with the program will violate any copyrights.

      I ftp'd to apple.com and got the file: end-user-license-agreement.txt
and it specifically forbids putting this software on any non-apple or 
multiuser machine. But can I legally put the postcript file produced by
LaserPrep on a machine with 2000 users?

	If not, how does anyone use macps at all? (I cannot write
the necessary postcript code myself, I don't have the knowledge, time,
or the inclination). If anyone at Apple can respond, I would apprciate
it. (Or perhaps give me a US mail address for the department that can
help). 

	I cannot ignore the copyright, and that is why this is an 
issue. (and the sysop is not about to ignore it either as well)

		thanks for any help,
