At Seybold, Emerald City Software showed off LaserTalk on a Mac 
*and* on a PC (running in Windows, available 4Q88).
Requires a Postscript printer.
The program typically puts up three windows: one to show
your interactive commands, one that shows the stack, and one
that previews the output. You have to click on the window to
update the preview.
An on-line copy of the Red book is a nice touch.
Looked like a nice program.
I'll probably get the PC version when its available.   
The Mac version is $250 and the PC version is $400.
Emerald City Software:  (415) 324-8080.
