In an original posting I asked about pro and con comments on
Linotronic output. I should have been more specific. 

We have a Linotronic L100 and I am very interested in hearing about
ALL experiences with people trying to produce tex output on an L100.

The responses I got so far ar all "yes but we use a Linotronic with
GOBS of RAM" (Not an option on the L100) or "use modified drivers
that use the builtin fonts" which works better on the L100 but still we
often have to split the job into 1 page chunks. SOme modified dvips 
programs I gather will help for this.

We are looking into getting the CM fonts in PostScript form to put on
the Lino disk and I hope this will solve MOST of the problems but
I am still wanting to hear about the good AND the bad and ugly from
people about their experiences, especially L100 users!
