Re: printers

At the University of Toronto Computing Services we have QMS PS 800+
PostScript printers. "We" are happy with them. We have them attached
to AppleTalk and to Unix (which is in turn attached to AppleTalk.)

R. Goerwitz writes that the Mac "has a nonstandard operating system..."
What is "nonstandard" about it? It is the standard for the Mac family.
The Mac interface and font handling is becoming the standard against
which other interfaces are compared. If the Mac system is suitable for
multilingual work why not use it?
