How do I configure TROFF for either of them ? >(I am running AIX 1.2 on a PS/2) You'll have C/A/T troff and you will need a filter to convert the C/A/T codes to Postscript or HPLJ. Psroff 3.0 will support both (but Postscript's better since you have a cartridge), and does run well on a PS/2. Here's the access information: Site latour has set up anonymous UUCP access for psroff 3.0.
