I have an Apple LaserWriter connected to my Apollos. I was wondering if anyone knows of some software which will convert troff to postscript so that I could use the "lpr -t" option. I have heard rumors of transcript from adolbe (please excuse if I don't have the names quite right). I also think it I might be able to get some software from Image Network, but I would expect that to cost quite a bit more (as my software for the x2700 was in the thousands of dollars). Does anyone know where to get software which will allow the -t option on lpr with a LaserWriter? -- --------------------------------- UUCP: {uunet, ihnp4!umn-cs}!hi-csc!giebelhaus ARPA: hi-csc!giebelhaus@umn-cs.arpa Nobody I know admits to sharing my opinions.

We have ported Adobe's TranScript to Apollo for in-house use, and will release it as a product in (I hope) the second quarter of next year. Richard Curtis Apollo Computer Inc. Mailstop CHM02RD 330 Billerica Rd., Chelmsford, MA 01824 617-256-6600 x8642 {umix,mit-eddie,uw-beaver,attunix}!apollo!roc

It's no big deal to port (offhand, I don't recall us making any changes) but it is designed to work with the Berkeley print system. Unfortunately, the Berkeley system doesn't know about Apollo bitmaps so we don't use it for now. This also means we haven't integrated Transcript into our environment very well. It works fine on our sun though ;-) Bruce

The way which works pretty nicely is to use both the berkley printing and the aegis prf. I have a line in my printcap like: lp|ge|line printer:\ :pc=/com/prf -banner off -text -npag -headers off:lp=/dev/null:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/lp:if=/usr/lib/lpf:\ :af=/usr/adm/lpacct:lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs: I believe you could add the troff filter to this. Then you could use the transcript for your troff and plot files and still have access to prf for those who don't like unix or need to print screen dumps. Could you please send me the transcript software? -- --------------------------------- UUCP: {uunet, ihnp4!umn-cs}!hi-csc!giebelhaus ARPA: hi-csc!giebelhaus@umn-cs.arpa Nobody I know admits to sharing my opinions.
