| ========================
|
|
|
|
| CompoScript
| ===========
|
|
|
| Goldleaf Publishing, Inc. is proud to announce the arrival of
| CompoScript, the state of the art PostScript interpreter for your Atari
| ST/TT.
|
| CompoScript enables you to print PostScript files on non-PostScript
| printers. In addition, a PostScript file can be shown on the screen and
| there is an option to convert it to a graphic file, so that you can
| subsequently import it into a graphics or DTP program which does not
| support PostScript.
|
| If you use DTP, Text, CAD, Graphics, Music Notation or Presentation
| software, then you will almost certainly benefit from CompoScript. Many
| programs can produce PostScript files, and by using CompoScript you know
| you will get the best quality possible, both on screen and printer. If you
| use programs on other operating systems, such as Macintosh, MS-DOS, Amiga,
| or Windows, you can save your files to disk and print them with
| CompoScript, providing flexibility and compatibility.
|
|
|
| CompoScript obsoletes other PostScript interpreters
| with its amazing features :
|
| Compatibility
| -------------
| A high degree of compatibility means no specialized fonts or
| customizing your software for the interpreter;
|
| Flexibility
| -----------
| CompoScript can be configured to automatically print selected files
| without any user input, and automatically delete files after printing.
| It can drive your printer directly or through the operating system.
| You may configure memory usage and the built-in virtual memory, and
| edit resolution for file conversion or screen display; even edit
| screen angle and frequency for grey scale output!
|
| Typefaces
| ---------
| CompoScript uses hinted PostScript Type 1 fonts, the highest quality
| font format available. It includes the standard 35 font set (designed
| by Bitstream) and not only can these fonts be used by other
| applications, but any Type 1 font may be used in CompoScript as a
| built-in font, simply by telling CompoScript the font location! In
| addition, the entire Bitstream Typeface Library of Type 1 fonts is
| available - over 1000 fonts!
|
| Screen Preview
| --------------
| Optionally view your file onscreen, at any resolution up to 600 dpi.
| Then press a key to immediately print the file.
|
| File conversion
| ---------------
| Convert PostScript files or clip art to GEM Image (.IMG) or TIFF,
| popular file formats supported by almost all applications.
|
| Font Control
| ------------
| Define or edit font aliases for printing files with fonts you don't
| own, or for changing font definitions.
|
| Printer Support
| ---------------
|
| CompoScript supports the following printers :
|
| Atari SLM 804/605 laser printers - Epson, Star, NEC, Panasonic, OKI,
| Seikosha & compatible 9 & 24 pin printers - Canon BubbleJet and
| compatible bubble jet printers - HP DeskJet, DeskJet Plus, and DeskJet
| 500 ink jet printers - HP, Epson, NEC and compatible laser printers
|
| CompoScript supports 360x360 dpi printing, data compression, and
| unidirectional / bidirectional printing for printers that include
| these features.
|
|
| Price
| -----
| Despite it's incredible feature list...
| CompoScript has a SRP of only $349.95.
|
| CompoScript runs on any Atari ST/STe/TT with at least one megabyte of
| memory and a hard disk. For more information, please contact us.
