[comp.text] Ditroff -> PostScript

john@minster.york.ac.uk (02/04/91)

Please would somebody mail me details of any public
domain (free, or nearly so) ditroff to PostScript
converter programs? Which is generally reckoned to
be the most popular?

I'm sorry to bore people with this one again, but I've
lost the last such set of answers posted.

The best known (and I would say one of the more reliable) is tpscript.
As you're in the UK, mail info-server@bath.ac.uk and you'll get help
on how to retrieve stuff from their archive (which includes tpscript).

To simply get tpscript by return mail, a message body of :

request: pdsoft
topic: unix-c/printers/tpscript.tar-z
request: end

will retrieve it for you.

Its also available on most ftp sites.
