[comp.lang.postscript] Masscomp graphics -> PostScript filter

dre@cs.nott.ac.uk (David Evans) (09/06/88)

     I am looking for a filter program to run on a Sun Unix machine to convert
Masscomp GPS primitives to PostScript.  This could be either a commercial
product or public domain.  Please mail me directly if you know of one.

     Many thanks,

     David Evans.

 I would also be very interested in such a filter..especially if it could
work with GRASS so I could print binary map layers.

Masscomp has a GPS -> Postscript filter.  I think it is called gpsps or
gpstps.   It is part of the support that you get with their Postscript
laser printer (a QMS).   I don't know if they sell it without the
printer, but you should ask them.

Another option is a GPS to tektronix filter that Creare sells (for about
$400 I think), and a public domain tektronix to Postscript filter that
was posted on the net a few months ago.   I've done this and it works.
