From: Mabry Tyson 

We will be getting some DEC equipment and must decide between the LN01S (most
likely) and LN03.  (Please don't say "Get QMS (or Laserwriter or...)" as the
vendor is fixed.)  We have been using TeX and Scribe under TOPS-20 on an
Imagen printer.  The new equipment will be on a VAX.  Can anyone give me a
clue as to how using the LN01S or LN03 will be different?  Can we still use
the AMR fonts?  Can we still construct our own fonts using Metafont (we only
really modify a few)?

Also what about bitmaps?  Some time back, people reported that the LN01S
did not support full bitmaps.  Has that changed?

Please respond even if you only have partial info.  Any quick note would be
appreciated.   Thanks!
