I believe a company called Elixir Software is working on a
PostScript to 9700 conversion program.  They've been marketing a
Ventura to 9700 conversion program through Xerox, which transforms a
4045 print file to a 9700 file. My company is interested in the
latter program, so I've started to explore the possibility of using
it.  The VP to 9700 program isn't cheap ($2,500), and I doubt that
the PostScript conversion program will be either.  If anyone wants
more info about who to contact at Xerox, send e-mail to my BITNET
address.
