	Some time ago, I requested information about the availability of a
Postscript to ImPRESS converter.  In response to that posting, I received a
few replies; they are summarized as follows:

	Several were from people seeking the same thing.  

	One was from a person who said that Textset in Ann Arbor, 
		MD had such a converter.  A call to Textset by me
		yielded denials that Textset has such a thing.

	One was from a person at Adobe (makers of Postscript) saying that
		such a converter is impossible to develop essentially because
		Postscript has much greater functionality than ImPRESS, so
		a mapping from Postscript is impossible.  I believe this.


	Those are all of the responses I got.  Thanks to those who bothered
to respond, and sorry I took so long to post this summary.
