     the Apple LaserWriter, QMS PS-800, 1200, and 2400, Datapro-
     ducts LZR-2665 and 2660, and Linotype Linotronic 100 and 300
     typesetters.  The TRANSCRIPT package of UNIX software allows
     UNIX systems access to POSTSCRIPT printers.

     The complete POSTSCRIPT language is described in the book
