Since I don't have a LaserWriter I can't extract the PostScript using the
Click-OK command-f stuff.  Is this right?  Does one need to purchase a
LaserWriter just to extract the postscript files?  My NeXT laser printer is
400 DPI, so I would not want to use a LaserWriter anyway.

I want to extract the PostScript and move it to my NeXT machine and print
it from there.  I already bought the MacLink software from DataViz to move
the file but, it would be even better if a daemon would run on the NeXT
waiting for spooled PostScript files.  Maybe a daemon that imitated the
LaserWriter protocol would do the trick.  This way additional software
for the Mac would not be needed.

Any Ideas?  Rob Maul maul@asic.nsc.com
