- Actually, Adobe sells the Plus Pack by the printer, and a
- quick glance at the legalese ("1. Scope of Use") backs
- that up. We bought two copies for use here (we have two
- NeXTprinters) on several NeXTs and that looks like the
- right way to do things. In fact, the salesguy asked us why
- we needed two copies. :-)

- Getting the fonts out of the LaserWriter (without
- unseating the ROMs) is probably impossible and
- certainly illegal. I think you really need to buy them. We
- did and they're pretty cheap as a package.
