I apologize for the somewhat widespread of this posting, but my question 
might find informed readers in one of these three arenas.  

My question is, does anyone know of the existence (either commercial or
public domain or even shareware) of a program that will filter/translate
PostScript code to Epson LQ graphics codes?  I am interested in either
those for Unix or MSDOS.  I really am not certain what would be involved,
although font emulation would definitely be a consideration.  My justification
for seeking this information is that MSDOS systems like PageMaker and 
pfs:First Publisher are able to generate various fonts, styles, and
point sizes (and bitmap graphics as well) for the LQ line fairly nicely.
It seems that such a thing should be possible with PostScript too.

I would really like to hear from anyone who knows of such products.
You may email to my address below if you like and I will summarize
if enough interest is generated.  Maybe my question is naive in the 
sense of difficulties I don't realize about tackling such a task.  If so,
I would enjoy hearing comments, etc., on those as well.

Thanks in advance!

Mark.
