[comp.text.tex] dvi-to-Impress using PK fonts

albion@quiche.cs.mcgill.ca (Christopher RABSON) (03/20/90)

	The subject really says it all.  Does anyone know where I could get
	my hands on a version of 'iptex' or 'dviimp' that appreciates
	PK-format fonts?  This would be for SunOS 3.5 and SunOS 4.0.
	Anonymous ftp would be preferred.  (I've tried labrea.stanford.edu,
	sun.soe.clarkson.edu, and june.cs.washington.edu without any
	success.)
