[to appease the hungry line eaters...]

This is my first posting to this newsgroup, but I have been reading it for
quite awhile.  I have seen only one PostScript routine ("Snowflake"), and,
being a novice in PostScript programming, I would be interested in seeing
more routines.  The best way to learn this is by example, and if you have
come up with a nifty piece you would like to show off, why not post it? If
you all would prefer, e-mail me what you have, and I will make a composite
posting!  Please remember to document your code so that the neophytes, like
myself, can fully appreciate your work!

Wanted: Interpress to anything (preferably postscript)

Does anybody have a program that goes from Interpress to something
else.  The end result is postscript, but we can already translate
from ditroff and dvi to postscript.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Problems with transcript (help)...

The first problem is that, being in Europe, we use A4 size paper and
the transcript programs apparently clip to 8.5 x 11.  I first
encountered this in enscript -r.  This resulted in the bottom line
being almost completely clipped and also the first character from each
line was almost entirely gone. Changing the following definition in 
enscript.pro from

    /Landscape{90 rotate 0 -15840 translate}def
to
    /Landscape{90 rotate 90 -15705 translate}def

has solved that problem.  However, I still lose the bottom line when
I lpr to the printer (which is a LaserWriter+).  So my first questions
are:
    Did I fix the right part with regards to enscript?
    Where do other fixes need to go to cope with A4 paper?

Part 2. Ditroff stuff.

This part of the distribution doesn't seem to have been built correctly.
And the instalation manual is quite vague in this area.  Also, my
knowledge of {di}troff is about nil.  Can somebody tell me what is
supposed to go where so that things (psdit, etc) work like the man
pages say they do?  Also, we have the DWB stuff from Death Star and we
have a 4.3BSD 785.  Has anybody gotten this stuff to build and run?  If
so, how?  As you can see, we are just getting things put together here.
If you have any information that will make this less traumatic, please
let me know.

			    Thanks greatly
