I picked up mf2ps -- but it doesn't work.  I compiled it on a Sun-3 and
when I run it, it finds the plain.base file, but claims there is a base
file error and exits.  I use the plain.base supplied with mf2ps.

I'd be more than happy to share binaries -- Sun3 or Sun4 -- if this darn
thing would work.  It's a cool idea!  Does anyone have a fix to this
problem?
