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.
