That was TPSCRIPT (5 parts).

We did compile it (System V) and use it with DWB 2.0 from AT&T.
It works excellent and at this moment we don't need more: there is also
a PostScript program to obtain a shell script (!) with font information
back from the LaserWriter.

In fact, we did not have *any* problems with tpscript -
only with the DWB software itself :-)
