From article <4588@vdsvax.steinmetz.ge.com>, by barnett@vdsvax.steinmetz.ge.com (Bruce G. Barnett):
" I just today heard (from Sam Wong@Sun (sp?)) that the current version of
" TransScript (2.0) that Sun supports will not run when you upgrade
" to SunOS 4.0.

Is there some reason we can't use the troff from 3.x, I wonder?

"... 
" widths have been modified for better PostScript support. (So you can
" type "troff -t |lpr -Premote -t" without having TransScript
" installed). ...

Can this be right?  Who translates from troff's cat output to
PostScript?  I think you would have to have TransScript installed
for this.  Or have some functional equivalent of the pscat program.
