You can either get a NeXT or other computer which uses a >Display Postscript imaging system (about $6500 at an educational >institution near you), or get LaserTalk, a program from Emerald >City, which will do what you want. No, I made the mistake of getting LaserTalk to view and paste EPS files. Don't do it. LaserTalk is much better suited for developing PS programs rather than simply displaying and working with EPS files in the Mac environment. Instead, check out Emerald City's Smart Art program. Like LaserTalk, it requires a LaserWriter and a little fiddling with the EPS file, but it does produce an image you can see on the screen as well as paste into Word, PowerPoint, FreeHand, PageMaker, etc. Not only is it easier to use than LaserTalk, it is also much cheaper <$90 street price. I am a very happy user of Smart Art. Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions. jack decker Tektronix Beaverton, OR
