Kean,
having just brought up TeX et.al. under SCO with GCC 2.1. No problems.
I have compiled Mr. Neumann's dvilj2p for printing on our HP LaserJet
IIIp. No problems. Printing however posed some problems, until I found
the undocumented '-og' flag to 'lp'. So when you print:
dvilj2p -a<somepath> <somedvi> -e- | lp -og
it should be fine.
I have picked up the latest (alpha) release from "ftp.tu-wien.ac.at" and
it contained a file describing setting up 8-bit printer support. These
instructions were not for my situation, but who knows what you can find
there.
EJee.
