Thanks to the following people for responding to my question (above):

	Robert Landsparger	rel@mtu.edu 
	Robert A. Lerche	ralerche@lindy.Stanford.EDU
	Jules Andrew Yasuna	jy0q+@andrew.cmu.edu
	Aki Atoji		serene!akix.uucp!aki@ucsd.edu
	Vidiot			brown@vidiot.UUCP
	Scott Boyd		scott@Futures.com
	Henry McGilton		henry@angel.Eng.Sun.COM
	Charles Spencer		emee36@castle.ed.ac.uk

This is a summary of their replies.

Within the environment described above, the following products
were known to work:

	Freedom of the Press (from CAI)
	GhostScript (from FSF)
	Ralpage

Of the 3 products, GhostScript and Ralpage are freely available
while Freedom of the Press is a commercial product.  Of the freely
available products, preference for GhostScript (especially the newest
version 2.1.1) was consistent.  Check UUNET or the archive data
base for locations near you...

Within the environment described above, the following produts
were thought to work:

	NeWS (Sun's own PostScript interpreter)

Finally, thank you *very much* for responding to my question!

Bruce
