leo@hoss.unl.edu points out quite rightly that my Postscript suggestion
for printing circular text isn't much use without a Postscript printer.
Don't know why I supposed *he* had one when I don't have one myself...
I got the Postscript books as a sort of wishful thinking (and we do have
a couple of coin-op Apples at school).  Anyway, I've been reading reviews
of emulation software myself.  I see that GoScript has shown up for $60
in one of those penny-software catalogs I get (I don't have it here -- 
sorry) -- anyone have any experience with it or the others?  I've thought,
too, of getting a IIP, or perhaps just a DeskJet 500.  I know that some
of the emulators are recommended for the LJ series but that's as far as
I've gotten.
