(6) MacTronic 2 -- CastDriver Program

This program sends the galley file, through MacTronic 2 Interface, to create galleys of type on the caster. These MacTronic programs may appear complex to some, but there are only three steps needed to give complete control of your typecasting requirements:
1. Use a Text Editor (e.g. InDesign, etc.) to produce a checked and corrected document with line-end turnovers, etc. which can be used by MacTronic.
2. The JP Program converts this file into galley files through the electronic diecase and wedge.
3. The CastDriver Program sends these galley files through the MacTronic 2 Interface to the caster to create galleys of type. Further enquiries to Harry McIntosh at
