Wirt follows with a fascinating discourse on viewing postscript onscreen . . .

With all due respect, sir, and with much interest in the subject you've
discussed, I think you missed the original comment (see above) which in
specific refers to putting ink on paper in a non-Postcript fashion.  Might
there be some appropriate way of doing so via the 3000.  After all, I for one
have quite a few non-postcript printers hooked to my 3000 and I'd like to
print out the pretty stuff QC produces on them, too.
