Too easy. > bill davidsen (davidsen@crdos1.crd.GE.COM) 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.... Lee Watkins JHU Academic Computing
