[comp.text] ditroff to postscript

njh@root.co.uk (Nigel Horne) (07/07/87)

Some time ago there was discussion on the net about a ditroff
output to postscript converter, so I could say something like
`pic -D | ditroff -mm | dit_to_post | lp -dlaser`.

Any help appreciated.

We use devps from Pipeline Associates, and have liked it
very much.  It's sold in source form and distributed via
uucp, and is somewhat cheaper than TranScript, the official converter
from Adobe.
