We want to do *roff output from Suns to a PostScript printer, and
Transcript seems like the appropriate tool for the job.

I have a quote for the stuff from Sun, but I hear that some folks buy
it directly from Adobe, possibly getting source and a site license for
the same price as Sun's SPARC binary-only distribution.  I called
Adobe(*) to ask about it, but nobody I talked to there has ever heard
of Transcript, let alone running it on a Sun.

Can anyone give me pointers to someone who will sell me Transcript?
Or am I even asking for the correct name and the correct thing?

(*) The NIC's whois entry for adobe.com lists a number for their
administrative and zone contacts that has been disconnected.  I called
their technical contact, Andy Shore, who helpfully forwarded me to the
switchboard.
