One was posted a little while back (to comp.sources.unix I believe). I have written one that seems to work fine on our Sequent Balance 8000 (4.2bsd). The latest release of Dynix included ditroff, but nothing to convert the output to PostScript. We picked up a program called tpscript (new version has just been posted to comp.sources.unix) and have been working our poor LaserWriter to death ever since. My only beef with ditroff is the limitation of ten fonts per device. Considering tpscript adds second special font to handle the stuff not found in the other special font, you can only use 8 of the other 12 fonts. David Nelson Kuck and Associates, Inc.
