I need an ascii to postscript converter.  I heard that his nenscript
was good.  Can anybody point me to an ftp site here for the source?

Is there a really really good one out there (command line parameters for top
and bottom and left and right margins, base font, base font size, the number
of pages to place on a single sheet (using an adjusted value for base font
or course)  options for the output file portrait or landscape, and options
for setting tab stops (like every 8 character pretend monospaced, or in some
inch figure...) )

If anybody can help me out, I would appreciate it.  I can add some of the
features that it dosent have if necessary...  I just don't feel like
doing the whole job from scratch, or like rewriting the really bad converter
that I presently have.
---------------------------------------------------------
The ones I have seen posted on the net are not flexible enough. I need to change 
base font style and size.
`Preciate any help.
