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?

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.

Oh that...we got Transcript running on our Apollo ring a few weeks
ago. 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 ;-)

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.
