[comp.sys.sun] Formatting a document that contains "pic"

cory@dspvax.mit.edu (Cory Myers) (03/15/90)

I have a document for a software package that I am trying to format on our
SUN system.  We have the Adobe Transcript software and a LaserWriter but
do not have ditroff.  The document contains "pic" code for diagrams.  Can
I format this?

I do have access to a machine that has pic and ditroff but when I format
the document there and try to print it on our LaserWriter here I get
"psdit: device not pcs".  The machine I have access to does not have a
/usr/lib/fonts/devpcs so I can not use "-Tpcs" to format on that machine.
I tried editing the result of the remote formating to change the "x T
<dev_name>" to "x T pcs" but psdit still complained.

Does anyone have a workaround?  I do not want ditroff but I do want to
print this document locally.

Thanks in advance,
