	Does anyone know of a public domain program that will take a text file
and convert it into a postscript file?  There is this postscript printer that
was bought so that major applications could print to it in postscript.  However
when ever one wants to print a simple text file( a program, a log file, etc)
one has to import it into something like WordPerfect(slow) to print it, Or one
has to turn off the printer, pull out the PostScript cartridge, and turn it on
again before one can print it out as a dos file through the PCL mode of the
printer.
	What would be nice is a program that will take as input a text file
and send postscript as output.  It would be really nice if one could use this
program within a pipe.
	Any ideas?
