[comp.lang.postscript] troff to postscript converter

everson@CompSci.Bristol.AC.UK (Phill Everson ) (05/22/89)

From article <832@csisles.Bristol.AC.UK>, by everson@CompSci.Bristol.AC.UK (Phill Everson ):
 
 There is also a program called thack which does exactly what is wanted, ie:
 
 		troff -t -man manualpage.1 | thack | pspr
 
 thack converts CAT control codes into postscript. It was written by a
 colleague of mine Gareth Waddell and is in the Public Domain. I could send
 out a copy or post it to comp.sources.misc if anyone wants.
 

I've just submitted a copy of this to the moderator of
comp.sources.misc so it shouldn't be too long before you all get it.
