Drop me a note email...Woody.

Actually, there are 3 that I know of.  One I wrote, one the outfit that
used to produce the TOPS network card wrote, (Tangent ), and one that
runs on the IBM-PC and does all emulation on the PC and then dumps raw
postscript stuff out, all hexified.  It does not have source.  As far as
the code From Tangent goes, I was sent a pre-release of it a couple of
years ago.  As far as I know, it was never released.  Tangent has since
gone out of business.  I think that they may have been bought out.  If
anyone knows the status of tangent, and thier FX-80 emulator code, let me
know.

Cheers
Woody
