I got so many requests for pfb2ps that i decided to post it to
comp.sources.misc. It might take a while for it to show up there since
that group is moderated. In the meantime pfb2pf showed up in
alt.sources. You might just as well use that one. It looks more well
written than mine. (But is it as fast?? :-)

I won't reply all the mails I got unless they had questions or
comments in them. Please wait for comp.sources.misc or grab pfb2pf in
alt.sources.

I also got one request from a user who needed an executable for
pfb2ps. Unfortunately I can't arrange that since I don't have access
to a PC with a C-compiler. That's why I wrote pfb2ps in the first
place :-) If anyone does compile pfb2ps please let me know so that I
can send it to those who want it.

I posted an article similar to this one 4 days ago, but it must have
been lost somewhere on the way.
