[net.periphs] QMS TROFF

dan@rna.UUCP (09/30/83)

	QMS has contracted Mt. Xinu to write the TROFF interface for the
QMS Lasergrafix 1200. Reportedly, the TROFF filter is complete and working.
They are also supposed to do a DITROFF interface which should be ready in
a couple of months. The cost of the source for the TROFF filter is about $1500.
The DITROFF port is supposed to be less than $2000. TROFF/CAT equivalent fonts
are to be included.
	We have ordered a QMS Lasergrafix 1200 on a trial basis. We will know
shortly how good the TROFF stuff is, but it sounds promising.
