[comp.text] [di]troff post-processors

montnaro@sprite.UUCP (03/27/87)

Well, I said I would be willing to post a list of ditroff post-processors,
so here's the first installment. I had one submission from Pat Wood (thanks
Pat) who mentioned not only Pipeline's products, but a couple others as
well. Someone else (the name escapes me) asked me to include post-processors
for troff (i.e., C/A/T converters), so plain troff is also included.

I am disinclined toward adding TeX post-processors. I think the TeX Users
Group does a good job of supplying that information in TUGBoat. If the
demand is great enough, however, I will add TeX filters as well. I am also
disinclined toward adding prices to the product information.

Perhaps submitting this information will encourage others to add to this
list. I am still looking for a Xerox 2700 post-processor from some vendor
other than Image Network.
