I run SCO Xenix SysV/286 2.2.1 and have the Text Processing system, which
means troff, nroff, eqn, tbl, etc... all of which ultimately go through
troff and generate dvi codes. Unfortunately, Epson line printers (I have
an FX-100 plus) do not understand dvi. Nroff output *almost* works...
but not quite well enough.
What I would like is the source code to a "dvi -> standard lpt" or better
yet "dvi -> you.define.it" translator. I'd settle for a complete list of
dvi codes, so I could write it myself, if nothing prewritten already
exists.
Any help/information would be appreciated!
