[comp.lang.postscript] psroff

I have not figured out how to get psroff to shift from portrait to landscape
mode.  Thx for any help.

If you're referring to my psroff, the one that converts CAT troff into
postscript, get psnup.  It works fine.

If you're not referring to my psroff, psnup will probably work anyways.

(I'm likely to be including part of psnup with Psroff PL8)

Psroff is indeed wonderful but I just have to ask how you pronounce
it.

Simple - the 'o' is silent!

I've always just said PEE-ess-RAWF.  My wife calls it something different
because she thinks I work on it too much, so it pisses-her-off ;-)

A new release of psnup is on the way.

I have an urgent need to obtain the latest version of psroff.  I have
just finished compiling version 1.8, but unfortunately it seems to be
unable to handle A4 paper properly.  This program (or something similar)
is needed to print out some troff-prepared course notes.

Any assistance would be most appreciated!  BTW, I do have ftp access.
