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. Cheers, Dan Ts'o ...cmcl2!rna!dan
