Ok, I keep reading about troff postscript "drivers", but I still don't
know where to get one, or how well they work.  I have DWB 2.0 ditroff
(which I am stuck with), so can I buy software that will allow me to
produce output on a postscript printer, where? how much?, or better
yet, where can I get a free solution that we won't have to spend a
year "customizing".  And while I'm at it, what exactly IS transcript,
and what does it run on (SYstem V UNIX?)

There, I've been wanting to ask that for months, but I kept thinking I
was missing obvious information so I just kept reading MORE
postings....
