Devps, the 'other' ditroff to PostScript program is available in
both source code and binaries.  Source for almost any UNIX system
with ditroff is $495.  Binaries are $295 and are currently available
for the following machines:
	Microport V/AT on PC/AT or Intel 310
	Xenix 5 on PC/AT
	Plexus running System 5

Other ports are in process.

The major difference between transcript and devps is that devps only
works with ditroff where as transcript has programs to support both
ditroff and old toff.  Transcript also supports Tektronix 4010 plot
format.  We have been using (and sell) both programs in house.  We
did the Transcript port for SCO Xenix 5 over one year ago and have
had no problems with it.  

Devps is a newer product.  We did all the above binary ports.  It
has been running in house for the past 4 months.  Again, no problems.
One advantage of devps is that it allows inclusion of Mac generated
graphics in the output.  I am currently in the process of playing
with combining devps output with files from an Atari running Publishing
Partner.
