   I recall hearing about a shareware/freeware program for translating text
   files to postscript similar to "enscript".  Can anyone get me a pointer
   to such for MS-DOS?

I wrote a device driver for MSDOS that accepts ASCII, and writes to
your printer using PostScript.  You have six options: Landscape or
Portrait, and one-up, two-up, or four-up.  These options are selected
by the name of the device driver you send your output to.

It's on simtel20.army.mil in pd1:<msdos.laser> as postprn.arc.
