There has been much response about getting epx, an nroff postprocessor
for driving epson compatible printers.  Most of this has been about trying
to get Bruce Townsend's program for creating nroff driver tables.  It
seems that without the need for that program, most people have let it
disappear with all of the other net.stuff.

I have therefore asked Bruce to repost it, and was told that he will send
his program to the mod.sources moderator.  You will then be able to get it
from there, (eventually).

In the mean time, if you wish to use epx, go ahead.  The default nroff
driver table will give you most of the features of epx, including all
of the greek  characters.  Only a few of the special characters will not
be available.  These include the bracket building characters, (your equations
will not look as good they can.)  But you need not wait to make the
driver table tabepson before using epx.
