  (You mean ``IBM code page 437'', rather than ``ASCII'', by the
way...)

  What you want is PC2PS11.ZIP.  I don't know what archive site it's
on, but here's part of the doc file:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                             PC2PS,

a simple ASCII to PostScript converter that even knows extended
and linedrawing characters. And it's free!!

#include <Standard.Disclaimer>


USAGE
   pc2ps  [-r[angle]]  [-s[pointsize]]  
          [-h[space]]  [-p[linepitch]]  [-o[offset]]
          [-oe[offset]]  [-m[topmargin]] [-w[linewidth]] 
          [-l[pagelength]]  [-i]  [-?]  [files...]
   > LPT?: 

DESCRIPTION
   PC2ps reads text from file(s) (or standard input if specified)
   and produces postscript output on stdout, suitable for piping
   to any postscript device (such as an Apple Laserwriter) or for 
   using with any program that expects postscript input (such as a
   postscript interpreter used to drive some other raster
   device).
   
AUTHOR
   This program is based on TEXT2PS by Stephen Frede (get this one,
   too!!).
   The Pcfont was handcrafted by Roland Giersig.
   If you like the program, drop me a line at GIERSIG@EDVZ.ATI.ADA.AT

Share and Enjoy!
