The only thing I can > offer is that Xerox are working on or maybe by now have released a Postscript > "driver" for the Viewpoint and XPS systems, but dont quote me. I have some Postscript files generated from Viewpoint documents lurking aroung somewhere so the technology exists. Xerox lost interest in telling us anything about Postscript when they realised we were not about to buy a phototypesetter. (We asked their salesmen about it again a few months ago - promised information not delivered, only a "would you like to buy VP for sparcstations" leaflet.) To answer the original question "Does anyone know of a way..." I suspect that the only answer is for one of us who wants it to write one. I have a few functions that decode Interpress files into operations and operands but no time to do any more. Anyone volunteering to take it further is welcome to a copy.
