Hi,
    My lab just got a laserwriter, so now all those postscript postings that
I 'n'ed are going to be useful.  A couple of questions:

1   How does one direct a file to be saved in PostScript instead of being sent
    to the LaserWriter? (Something about command-f ?) 
2   I know someone who is using a Troff-to-Postscript converter to generate
    Postscript files for a LaserWriter connected to our VAX.  If these files
    are sent to a Mac, can they be sent to the LaserWriter without any software
    problems. (I was thinking of using Word 3.0 to change style description to
    PostScript and then printing.)
3   How about the other way around?  Will PostScript files generated on the Mac
    (See Q#1)and  sent to the VAX cause any problems?
4   Does anyone see any potential problems with this general method of
    approach?

Any personal experiences on this topic will be useful.

                                Thanks in advance,
                                Scott  snyder@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu
