In the latest issue of Colophon (an Adobe Systems News Publication) there
were two entries under a list of software supporting PostScript:

	TeX for the Macintosh
	FTL Systems, Inc.
	234 Eglinton Ave. East #205
	Toronto Ontario M4P 1K5
	(416) 487-2142

	Macintosh TeX
	Kellerman & Smith
	534 SW 3rd Street
	Portland OR 97204
	(503) 222-4234

I have no idea what these product/companies are (but I would like to
know)!

To change topics. Can anyone give me details on connecting an IBM-PC
to the Apple LaserWriter. I have Personal TeX  (pcTEX) for my IBM and
Textset's DVILASER/PS a TeX to PostScript printer driver for use
on the IBM-PC but I wasn't given any info on the necessary cable! ????

HELP.........and thanks.
