Kinda makes me wonder if anyone actually reads the thinks we put up here.
There is such a program, there has been for some time, it was one of the
first things discussed when this group was new and it's come up several times
since, it's called GoScript (not to be confused with GhostScript, the GNU
postscript clone). It's advertised in most of the big PC oriented magazines.

So why spend $3000 on a postscript printer, well first off, GoScript is
slooow, it can take as long as 45 minutes to do a single page, during which
time your PC is tied up, secondly of course it's useless on any other platform
than MS-DOS PC's.
