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.
