Does anyone out there have any software to convert  NCAR graphics files
to Postscript?  We just got a Prinserver 40, and we use the NCAR library to
do a lot of our plotting.  Previously, we had an LN01S, and used its
Tektronix emulation to get hardcopies.  The Printserver's Tektronix emulation
is done by converting Tektronix to Postscript on our VAX 11/780.  Our computer
is saturated already, and plots take hours to come out.  I can't afford to
write my own, because it would takeforever, since I don't know Postscript.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Also, is there any way to set something up lke "PRINT/SETUP=module", where
"module" can do something lke set margins, change fonts, etc.?  Do I have to
write a word processor?  Does TeX have a Postscript translator? How easy is
it to use?

Thanks in advance,
Tom Williams
