Many people have asked me for the filters that I received to allow me to
send my PS code from my Mac to a LW on a UNIX system. Here it is (in 3
chunks; sorry but the prep files are large).

----------------CUT HERE------------------------

#! /bin/sh
# This is a shell archive, meaning:
# 1. Remove everything above the #! /bin/sh line.
# 2. Save the resulting text in a file.
# 3. Execute the file with /bin/sh (not csh) to create the files:
#	README
#	macfilter.csh
#	macfilter.ksh
#	ps8.c
# This archive created: Tue Aug 11 18:01:36 1987
# By:	H. Moskovitz (The Second Door on the Right)
export PATH; PATH=/bin:$PATH
echo shar: extracting "'README'" '(1106 characters)'
if test -f 'README'
then
	echo shar: will not over-write existing file "'README'"
else
cat << \SHAR_EOF > 'README'
After having unpacked the files, compile the program 'ps8.c'. I used
	cc -O -o ps8 ps8.c
This program  converts non-printing characters into hex equivalents that
PS understands but that UNIX lp won't strip out. This is needed if using
lp since it would corrupt the laser prep.

I have included two versions of macfilter; one for 'csh' and one for
'sh/ksh'. The csh version requires stdin so you must cat the input file
and pipe it through macfilter and redirect the output. The ksh version
(which runs under sh as well) will take an input filename or stdin if one
is not supplied.

The input file is a file that was captured on the Mac via the cmd-F
sequence (from the print dialog) and was downloaded. Macfilter looks at
this file and determines which version of the laser prep it needs and
prepends that to the file, writes the modified file to stdout. The laser
prep files are the four files called laser-prep-??.pro

#	macfilter
#  Filter for Macintosh-generated PostScript code.

#
#   This filter prepends the necessary LaserPrep file to the Mac file, then
# sends it through a filter to escape 8-bit characters (otherwise lost by the
# UNIX printer driver.)  This version supports the Macintosh LaserWriter driver
# versions 1.1 (LaserPrep version 12), 3.1 (LaserPrep version 40), and 3.3
# (LaserPrep version 49).
#   The difference between the three versions is deduced by looking at the
# first line of the input to this script.  The first line from the 1.1 driver
# consists entirely of "md begin".  The first line from the 3.1 driver consists
# of "%!PS-Adobe-1.0".  The first line from the 3.3 driver consists of
# "%!PS-Adobe-1.2".  This script fgreps for "Adobe-1.2" in the first line and
# if found, prepends the version 49 prep.  Then it fgreps for "Adobe-1.0" and
# if found, prepends the version 40 prep.  Otherwise, it prepends the
# version 12 prep.
#   NOTE:  Other versions of the LaserWriter driver (most notably version 3.0)
# produce output that is not easily distinguishable from output from Laser-
# Writer driver 3.1.  For this reason, this filter cannot provide warnings
# about incorrect input.  In general, the different versions are incompatible,
# and correct output from anything other than PostScript from the Macintosh
# LaserWriter drivers 1.1, 3.1 and 3.3 cannot be expected.
