I need a filter to convert the output from nroff that contains underline-backspace-letter combinations into something that a Printronix printer understands. Our Printronix printer doesn't print until it receives a line feed. If you wish to underline something, you must print the line, send a carriage return and "overstrike" the underlines. Does anyone have something to do this, or am I overlooking a standard tool? Hints, suggestions, and/or code gratefully accepted. Thanks. -- roger long pertec computer corp {ucbvax!unisoft | scgvaxd | trwrb | felix}!pertec!bytebug
