You might try Image Network in Mt. View CA 415-967-0542 They have a product called XROFF. This will work with many different laser printers including the HP IIIP. I have used it for years outputing to a DEC LN03 (I am using the Unix version). They have versions that will work with DOS also. Uses downloadable fonts and comes with the mm ms and me macro sets. Also includes pic, tbl, and eqn, plus documentation. This is not PD software, but is reasonable. -- Onager Systems Ray A. Jones 18710 NE 59th Ct.
