I've written an ASCII to postscript filter than runs under Unix
(BSD 4.[23], Sun 3.2).  It should be fairly easy to port to other systems.
An earlier version was posted to net.sources in 1986.
The output is supposed to conform to the Adobe 2.0 file structuring
conventions.

Here are the major features:

  lwf [-i#] [-l] [-m] [-olist] [-p[str]] [-r] [-s#] [-t#] [file ...]

    -i#     Indent each line # inches
    -l      Landscape instead of Portrait
    -m      Use 3 hole punch margins
    -olist  Only print pages in the specified range
    -p[str] Use pr to print, passing optional string
    -r      Enable/disable page reversal
    -s#     Use point size #
    -t#     Spaces between tab stops is # characters

The program supports multicolumn output.

The program is not ftp-able from here.
Please send email to me (not to the list) if you'd like a copy, indicating if:
    1. You have ftp access,
    2. You're willing to provide ftp access from your site, and if
    3. You get comp.sources.unix

Depending on the response, I'll mail out the program, ask someone to
provide ftp access, and/or submit the program to comp.sources.unix.
