In response to a letter today... According to device documentation the LaserWriter DOES have an RS-232 port. This should indeed make it possible for an IBM PC user to plug directly into the imagesetter. Also for those of you who get the chance, typesetting industry guru Jonathan Seybold report on PUBLISHING SYSTEMS of January 28, 1985 (Vol. 14, No. 9) has a really in-depth article on the LaserWriter and PostScript. The following is a short excerpt from page 3: "Last week, Apple Computer, Allied Linotype, Adobe Systems and International Typeface Corporation made a series of announcements which we think will have a profound impact on the publishing world. Taken together, the announcements do more than anything to date to bridge the personal computer, office and graphic arts worlds. If you still cling to the notion that typesetting systems and products can be clearly distinguished from mass market personal computer and office products, we think it is time you changed you mind." Strong words from such a well known figure. I agree entirely! I hope that all of you get a chance to see this wonderful beast soon. Be sure that your dealer lets you take a look at the output from the ALDUS product PageMaker. Wow!!! :wq : -- Eric Geoffrey Vann Analysts International (Chicago Branch) (312) 882-4673 ..!ihnp4!aicchi!egv
