I use it regularly with considerable luck. It should be on the mac ftp sites(*). If you have a postscript compatable printer connected to a unix box, you should also have (or get) a copy of TransScript. TransScript is a piece of software originally from Adobe (also remarketed by sun) that includes a postscript driver for the standard printer spooler, a troff to postscript converter, a ditroff to postscript converted, etc. It's fairly cheap as these things go, and well worth the cost in aggravation prevented. xoxorich. * you mentioned you don't know where the mac ftp sites are. I don't either as I'm not on the internet, but I think sumex-aim.stanford.edu = 36.44.0.6, is the biggie. -- rich.
