Newsgroups: comp.sources.unix Sender: sources Approved: rsalz@uunet.UU.NET Submitted-by: Chris Lewis Posting-number: Volume 20, Issue 33 Archive-name: psroff/part01 Normal UNIX troff only prints its output on WANG C/A/T Phototypesetters. This package contains a generic interface between standard troff and other types of printers. The package has a driver for PostScript printers (Eg: Apple Laserwriters), a partial implementation of a driver for HP Laserjet family printers, and a Ditroff output option. In fact, this package can be used to, in effect, upgrade CAT troff to be ditroff. There are limitations, but you get what you pay for. -- Jim Ray Harris Semiconductor Internet: jdr@semi.harris.com PO Box 883 MS 62B-022 Phone: (407) 729-5059 Melbourne, FL 32901
