The package you are refereing to has been written by Seth Teller and
the ftp site is ftp.brl.mil. The files reside in pub (psgl.[ch])

The package works by generating a postscript file from the commands
that are stored in the "feedback buffer". Great for making overhead 
sheets and/or figures in TeX documents.

Note, however, that the package *only* works on a GTX based machine
and *not* on a Personal Iris or a VGX machine. I have ported 
it to the Personal Iris. It should also run on VGX machines.

I have also compiled a manual page based on the comments in the 
original posting and other clarifications.

Send me mail if you are interested in my port.
