I just recently pulled down the text-->PostScript stuff down from
icaen.llnl.gov and it looks like a really nice setup.  However,  I need
a filter that doesn't run as it's own symbiont process as this one appears to.
The reason is that I am running VAX queues thru LPR/LPD (Wollongong's TCP/IP)
and they already use the /PROC and /ON qualifiers in setting up queues.  Is
there a text-->PostScript filter out there that works (or can be compiled) on
a VAX/VMS hosts that takes an input file with point size and orientation
parameters and outputs the postscript equivalent as a new file?  I'd really
like one that allows for any point size, but I'm interested in anything.

Thanks for any help!!
