As a good alternative to either of these products Postsc does a great
job of combining the best of Eroff, Transcript and devps postprocessors
as well as giving all the functionallity of psfig. Postsc gives you
faithful ditroff output and allows for including
(1) PostScript images,
(2) PostScript programs to manipulate ditroff text or images, and
(3) easy commands to do simple PostScript manipulations
like mixing landscape and portrait orientations on a
single page.
Send me UUCP mail ucbvax!cgl!brianc or brianc@cgl.ucsf.edu and I'll
forward the manual page and the address/phone for more info.
