I will be posting my simple little PS tool called TOPS (Text tO
PoStscript), a small program that allows you to pipe text into it, and
pipe Postscript out the other end.  At the moment it only prints in
Courier 10 point, but I will expand it if there is sufficient user
demand.

As I say, this is very simple, but it works quite well.  I will post it
to comp.binaries.ibm.pc is a couple of days.  I hope this will satisfy
these two requests.
