I don't have devps, but I have installed the recently released psfig (check 
comp.sources.unix). This allows similar things, but I have having to
go through some gyrations to get the fancy stuff, like outlined fonts,
downloadable fonts (I want the Berkeley Versatec Fonts), and the other
goodies. So with ditroff and transcript and psfig - the packages are
*somewhat* comparable. It can do MacPaint documents, Postscript
diagrams, etc. You may also need bbfig - which is a small
postscript/shell script that shows you the bounding box for the
postscript diagram you want to print.

Perhaps someone who is familiar with devps and ditroff/psfig can
comment on the advantages/disadvantages of each?
