We are in need of several tools: Something that translates from cat files to Postscript or Quic files or Something that translates from troff to Tex files A version of xx2ps that knows about already-resident fonts in the Postscript printer. As you might surmise, our situation is that we have QUIC and Postscript printers, .cat and .dvi files, and Tex. Our Troff generates .cat files. Our Tex has a dvi2ps. So we need to go either TROFF => .cat => .dvi => .ps or TROFF => TEX => .dvi => .ps It also doesn't seem necessary to download the Postscript glyphs when they are already in the printer. Any suggestions? Bob Pellegrino bob@bobsun.prime.com dexvax!genrad!mit-eddie!primerd!bobsun!bob

Kamal Al-Yahya of the Geophysics Dept. at Stanford has written a Troff-to-TeX shell script. (It was announced earlier this year on the TeXhax mailing list.) You can send him mail at KAMAL@Hanauma.Stanford.Edu -------
