I've seen Seidman's mentioned, but couldn't find the macro I referred
to earlier, so don't know if it was patterned after those utilities or
now. :(

I have been toying with GhostScript (a freeware postscript driver for a
multitude of non-postscript printers, for those who don't know about
it.) While I haven't used the DOS version with a DOS version of WP, I
don't see why it wouldn't work (not that it's needed). An included
Postscript-to-text utility could be useful though if you needed to edit
a file someone had sent you in .ps format.

The Dept of Defense has used those sorts of monitors for some time, and
I recall seeing one on the secetary's desk of my former commander. I
don't imagine they are cheap, but could see how they could really be
useful in DTP. BTW, WordPerfect is still MY preferred DTP package, and
IMO is much better at DTP than MSPublisher! 
Cheers,
Phil
