Gee, I didn't know there was a Sun TranScript version 3.2. When I talked
to the Sun rep recently, I asked about upgrading our 2.0 version, which is
2.0 and he said that the latest version is 2.1.1.
Unfortunately I don't have fig2ps, so I can't run tests at home. Also I
have ditroff (AT&T DWB 2.0), not ultrascript. But, I have been able to
include PostScript text into my ST:TNG Program Guide using ditroff and
the instructions to psdit.
If you want, you can send me a copy of the PostScript file that contains the
text you want to print, wrapped around the included fig2ps PostScript stuff.
I will then attempt to print it on my Apple LaserWriter IINT and see what is
wrong with it. I can't guarentee anything. Also include a copy of the troff
source file that you use.
