Two questions from someone that's new to the Mac world.

I have postscript files that I would like to send to my Laser
printer via my Mac. These files are imported from the Unix env. and
therefore do not belong to any particular application; hence I
can't just say print the file.

Is there some way, or some PD utility that will send a file
unprocessed to a laser printer connected to the Mac via the
localtalk line? How difficult is it to write one using something like
the lightspeed C package?

Second question. The mac.bin group post many things in binhex format.
Where can one get the binhex program to decode this stuff?

Thanks in advance,

rich
