Hello,

    I was very interested in the postscript filter for ascii that has
been mentioned recently.  Someone said that it was posted on
comp.sources.misc, but I cant seem to find it archived at
wuarchive.wustl.edu.  

    What I am looking for is the postscript "program" that you download
to your ps printer and it translates incoming ascii text and prints it.
It was also mentioned that it was slow,  but this is not a problem for me.
The only application that I use that doesn't support ps is my comm program,
and it makes life difficult when I wish to print out source-code from
a remote machine.  Also most of the translating programs that I have 
tried don't seem to understand tabs.  Clearly unacceptable if you 
want your source code to be readable.

Can someone help?

I'll summarize if anyone is interested.

p.s.  I have  a Mylex 486 Eisa machine with a LJ3 and real HP ps cart.
