[fa.laser-lovers] Xerox 2700 software query

I am looking to print troff(1) output on a the Xerox 2700 laser printer.
The two software packages I have found are Textware's Tplus and
VLS's DX-2700.  Textware wants $2500 for a 780 binary that runs with
ditroff;  VLS wants $3500 for a similar binary.  What experience do
people have with these products and companies?  Are there other
packages for the 2700 that I should be looking at?

Please mail(1) to me - if you can - and I will summarize to laser-
lovers.

For reference:
	Textware International, Cambridge, MA, (617)UNI-TEXT
	VLS, Inc, Fremont, CA, (415)490-3555

Note:  this should not be read as an endorsement of either company,
	either by myself or my employer.  Recall Mark Twain's
	admonishment in "Huck Finn."

You may want to consider retrofitting a QMS controler on the thing and give
your machine some brains.  The software for this setup (from Talrus)  is not
cheap, but you can get full page graphics.
