X-Message-Number: 2902 From: (Thomas Donaldson) Subject: CRYONICS: Re: Image Transmission Date: Sun, 17 Jul 1994 13:04:15 -0700 (PDT) Hi again! Basically L. Zubkoff has put in another vote for Postscript. That's fine. I will say that as I understand the scene, it's simply not true that "most printers support Postscript". Even Apple has recently made and sold laser printers that did not use Postscript; HP has been famous for this for a long time (they have their own document description language, which is supposed to be harder to use). This does not include many printers which are not laser printers, such as inkjet printers or dot matrix printers. I'm not trying to be difficult here. I just would like a method which really would be as widely usable as cheaply as possible. And I also believe that (PARTICULARLY with graphics) users will want to save their downloads and print them out --- which raises other software problems if you are only able to view a Postscript file on your screen. Incidentally, as I said in my last message, I'd be perfectly happy with Postscript (if it's Level 1), since I actually own a laserwriter than takes Postscript. But what about those who do not? Long long life, Thomas Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=2902
