The postprint program in DWB 3.1 translates ASCII to postscript. It's not really needed by DWB, since dpost translates ditroff output to PostScript; it's there as a favor to customers. postprint in DWB 3.2 (not yet public) accepts 8bit ISO 8859-1 input. postprint has options for landscape/portrait, multiple copies, selective pages only, n-on-1 (e.g 4 logical pages on 1 physical page), page offset, alternate fonts directories, etc.

The Sun documentation that comes with SunOS4.1.1 keeps mentioning TranScript 2.1.1 as being able to deal with ISO latin1. Since enscript is part of that package is suppose it does what you want. -- Andreas Stolcke stolcke@icsi.berkeley.edu International Computer Science Institute stolcke@ucbicsi.bitnet 1957 Center St., Suite 600, Berkeley, CA 94704 (415) 642-4274 ext. 126
