I am sorry that mr cramer felt it necessary to be so sarcastic; I have
gotten private mail from several others who also have this need ; see, 
there are those of us in the world who can only affort dot matrix printers;
when your hardware makes the assumption that postscript is the standard
output - and you all know what kind I am talking about I will bet - then
finding these filters become more than a convienience.  Note that we have
seen dozens of postscript - something or something -> postscript filters
posted to the net; since there are many more dot matrix printers out there than
laser I figured that one of the brilliant ones would have done this; I mena,
the postscript interpreter is already done and was posted to comp.sources.unix.
The appropriate driver is needed, but there are fonts galore - and some of
us have dot matrix printers which allow fonts to be downloaded.
