I would like to thank everyone for the responses I received about my troubles with Elvis for the pc. I didn't want to sound like I was knocking it but was just shocked at the speed and appearance (read Colours) for what seems to be a very stable and well written package. Now that I have been pointed towards some fast ansi.sys drivers I'm going to give that a try. In the meantime I hope someone offers a good workaround for changing the colours (Waaaah). -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "So long Grizzly dudes", Bart Simpson Barry Ard | uucp: ..!alberta!uqv-mts!userbard University Computing Systems | inet: userbard@mts.ucs.ualberta.ca University of Alberta | bitnet: userbard@ualtamts.bitnet Edmonton, Alberta | bard@ualtavm

this script "ftops", converts elvis .doc files to
postscript. Here is an example
refont -f *.doc | ftops > elvisDoc.ps
refont comes with the elvis package. ftops conforms enough to
structured postscript to make it usable with the X11/NeWS pageview
postscript previewer. just snip at cut here line and chmod +x the thing
--------------------------------CUT HERE------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
if [ X$1 != X ]; then
2>&1 cat <<\EOF
ftops is a simple filter, it reads from stdin and writes to stdout
it is used for converting files with \f<fontstyle> type font change
escapes to postscript. it is a quick hack to convert elvis .doc
files to postscript
e.g. usage;
refont -f *.doc | ftops > elvisDoc.ps
