	What do you get for your us$129 and what is Goscript?

	Lasergo provides their Win or DOS/Win Goscript software of
	a Postscript driver and a small 20 page manual. You should
	know Postscript to take advantage of the full features.

	These Postscript programs provide, using the computer's CPU and
	RAM rather than the usual Postscript printers CPU and RAM, a
	software interpreter that takes XYwrite Postscript print-to-file
	output and turns it into expected printed pretty output on a wide
	variety of non-Postscript dot-matrix, deskjet, laserjet and laser
	printers.
	A good short introduction to Postscript code, perhaps after you've
	scanned some short Postscript code that Xywrite has produced in
	printing to a file is:
