We just got a Imagen Imageserver for our unix system. Imagen supplies
a troff to imPRESS translator, which is fine for Unix, but I would to
be able to upload graphics and text created with WYSIWYG packages on
our PC and print them on the Imagen. Is there a wordprocessing package
for the PC that supports imPRESS. Also is there a imPRESS driver available
for MS Windows, so we could use Windows Write and Draw?
Failing that is there a Postscript or Laserjet to imPRESS or troff
translator available.
Thanks for your assistance

Hi,
I have an Imagen printer driver that handles text and bitmaps. Unfortunately
it is in Lisp. BUT I have rewritten the text part in TurboC. And might also
convert the bitmaps portion given time. The catch ? It uses the ethernet
to talk to the printer. However the program is quite selfexplanatory and
I can add in the notes to convert it to use a serial line (you have to quote
certain charaters).If you want it let me know.

Elan Computer Group sells a TROFF, et. al. package for MS-DOS with support for the Imagen line of laser printers as well as the HP LaserJet and Postscript printers. The package, EROFF, includes TROFF, NROFF, PIC, EQN, TBL, GRAP, and a rough draft screen previwer called EVIEW, and other goodies, all running (quite well and quickly) under MS-DOS. It's all derived from AT&T DWB 2.0 release -- that is, it's the real thing, not a re-write. This package is essentially identical to our EROFF versions on UNIX.
