It has only been tested +with version 23 of the LaserWriter, but should work with later versions. + +The symbiont as distributed is configured to print normal text files in +a variety of formats on the laser printer. Support is also included for +printing PostScript files, MacPaint files, and Zeta plot files. See +LASER.C for additional capabilities of the symbiont. + +It is also available for anonymous ftp from utadnx.cc.utexas.edu: + +LASER_BACKUP.BCK - A backup save set that should be transferred + in binary,record mode by a site running WIN/TCP. +LASER_SHAR.COM - A self-unpacking DCL-archive file.
