Adobe's current prices for the Transcript package for printing to PS
printers from Unix are too high for our budget.

Are there approximately equivalent packages from other sources?
We're interested primarily in:
	- printing ordinary Unix text files to PS printers,
	  with about the same bells and whistles as you would
	  get with vanilla pr and lpr
	- spooling PS files to PS printers (i.e., files whose
	  first bytes are: %!
	- printing Unix man pages (we don't have ditroff, just
	  plain [nt]roff)
