Yup. I've got a brochure sitting next to me from Sun advertising "The Sun LaserWriter". It looks just like an Apple laser writer 'with the word "Apple" scratched out and the word "Sun" written in in crayon.' (Paraphrased from Monty Python) From the Brochure: Software: Printcap output filters and translators for troff C/A/T files, ditroff intermediate output, plot(5) files, Diablo print files. Other than that, it looks just like a LaserWriter. William LeFebvre Department of Computer Science Rice University or, for the daring: [[Editor's note: I believe that Sun is marketing a combination of the LaserWriter and a binary copy of Adobe's TranScript, and this is what is being described here. --Rick]]
