From: mcgregor@decwrl.ARPA (Scott McGregor) Has anyone figured out how to convince troff to pass Postscript literals through transcript to a Postscript printer? The goal is to use troff for the text and Postscript for the illustrations. Scott.

The goal is to use troff for the text and Postscript for the illustrations. Scott. I haven't tried this exactly, but there is a directive for device- indepedent troff that could do the job: .cf file copies the contents of 'file' into the troff output file at this point, uninterpreted. The manual notes that this will cause problems in troff unless the file restores current horizontal and vertical positions. I'm not sure if this will work correctly, as troff's output still needs to be translated by the actual device filter, but it's worth a try. Dave Cohrs
