Greetings- 

(By the way, I first sent this to laser-lovers, and was
chastised that they were the wrong place for this question.)

I am trying to bring up titroff along with our Imagen
IMPRINT-10 on a VAX 4.1BSD.  I am having a bit of trouble
getting past step 1.  (Whatever that is.)

If I do an "a.out -man some-manual-page-for-example | ta"
which I would have guessed would try to give me something
legible on my terminal, it is legible but no horizontal
spacing.  If I pass the output through  the tc filter which
is supposed to prepare it for a tektronix 4014 and then put
it out on a retro-graphics, again I get it, but this time
the vertical spacing is screwy.  Oh well, so I blast right
ahead and try the imagen.

Sending the output through dcan gives me an error that it
can't find RASTERLIST. Was that supposed to be distributed?

Should I say a.out -Tcan ?

If I run dcan with the debug option, I don't get that error
message, I do get a banner page, but no output!

I am a bit out of my depth on this.  Can any of you give me
a hint or two?

Appreciatingly yours,
