Thank you for those responded to my previous message posted in comp.text concerning ditroff. Our next problem is to find a post processor for ditroff to drive our Xerox 2700 laser printer. Post processors for driving the HP LaserJet and Apple LaserWriter can be obtained easily, but I didn't hear anything about one for Xerox 2700. I heard that the 2700 is a very difficult thing to drive. Any information would be appreciated. Dik Lee Dept. Computer Information Science OSU ..!cbosgd!osu-eddie!dlee dlee@ohio-state.arpa

As far as we could find out, it's pretty well "roll your own" (we have since dumped the 3700 in favour of a faster (cheaper) PostScript engine). Someone here said something about Adobe Systems offering PostScript for the 2700 (saw it at Comdex?). If this is the case, your problems may be solved. -- Lyndon Nerenberg - Nexus Computing Corp. - lyndon@ncc.UUCP UUCP: {ihnp4,ubc-vision,vax135,watmath}!alberta!ncc!lyndon
