Barry, I've taken J.R.'s Pagestream 2.1 files and have color separated them
to film on a hi-res phototypesetter, using my A2000 which has 10MB (2MB
chip ram, 4MB 32bit ram & 4MB of 16bit) of ram and an '030 – '882. I've
seen the final prints of these color seps and they look excellent. They did
take over 30+ minutes each to print, but hey, J.R. is a heavy graphics man.
Pgstream works fine for me, I'd like to see improvements too, but that is
always expected of everything. If you don't have a postscript printer, I'd
recommend downloading Post1.6 from here. It will interpret Postscript ASCII
files, and it does a nice job for me, printing to a non-postscript 300dpi
GCC Personal Laser Printer. Of course you'll need to begin collecting the
postscript fonts, many of them found here in the libraries.
I wish you better luck, and please, post your system configuration. But
just from one of your comments about memory dropping I'd guess its time you
seriously considered a megamemory upgrade.
Chris
