Please pardon my ignorance, but i dont know a thing about laserprinters or postscript. However, i have access to an apple laserwriter connected to a macintosh se. A fairly large project which i am involved in requires some documentation. I want to use *roff (with MM macros) to do this documenting. I have had a fair bit of experience with nroff, since i run it on my 286 at home, however, ive never tried to use troff to output stuff to a laserprinter. My question is this: Is there a way i can get my document from my pc at home (in troff format) to the mac for laserprinting? ie. how do i get troff to generate a file suitable for the laserprinter, and given that, how do i send that file to the laserprinter? please note that i dont have any drivers for laser printers or for generating postscript code, and my version of troff is pretty old ... 1897 i think! thanx in advance.. rob (rns@mullauna.cs.mu.oz.au) ======= Robert Sturrock University Of Melbourne, Australia rns@mullauna.cs.mu.oz.au
