ScriptPrinter software provides the following translators: ANSI->PostScript, Regis->PostScript, and Tek4014->PostScript. The latter two translators can be run directly, simply by running the shareable exe's: i.e. $ RUN SYS$SHARE:TRN$TEK4014_PS - or - $ RUN SYS$SHARE:TRN$REGIS_PS Unfortunately, running the ANSI->PostScript translator (TRN$ANSI_PS) directly doesn't work. You needn't fret, however, if you have DECwindows installed: you can convert from ANSI ("plain text") to PostScript just fine: $ CONVERT/DOCUMENT infile/FORMAT=TEXT outfile/FORMAT=PS --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aaron Leonard (AL104) | Internet: leonard@arizona.edu VAX maven & apprentice | Bitnet: LEONARD@ARIZONA CoSy: aleonard network dude | Hepnet: UAZHEP[47540]::TELCOM::LEONARD University Telecom | Disclaimer: This is the Department of University of Arizona | Information *Retrieval*, NOT Information Tucson AZ 85721 | *Dispersal*! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
