The product release that was posted a few weeks ago explicitly stated that the TranScript package was included with A/UX. This includes a set of filters that transforms Troff output to PostScript. It's not as good as having a native PostScript version, but it works quite nicely. The only problem I've had with using TranScript (on a Sun 3/50) is that the pscat filter (C/A/T to PostScript) seems to have some misconceptions about page size (troff -man -t foo.1 | pscat | lpr should print a manual page for foo, but the page footers disappear). -=- -j, greely@satcom3.cis.ohio-state.edu "Tandoori to go.
