I am looking for a program that converts ASCII files into
HP LaserJet commands (PCL) for printing on a LaserJet.  Anyone
know of such a thing (either shareware, PD, or commercial)?

The ideal ascii to HP-PCL converter would run under DOS or
UNIX (one or the other), run in a pipeline, be distributed 
with source code in C, not attempt to run in native mode
(ie, will run on an 8086), and have formatting features
similar to Adobe's "enscript" program.

I intend to run it under the VP/ix DOS emulator on UNIX.
