We are in the process of adding an Apple LaserWriterIIntx Postscript
printer to our BSD UNIX machine.  Thanks to the wonders of public-domain
software we have implemented ascii->ps, dvi->ps and plot->ps filters but are
having some trouble with a ditroff->ps filter.

We are working with UNSW Australia's ditroff-ps package, and are having
some success. The distributed code has some Apple LaserWriter specific
code. When we try to use this on our Apple LaserWriterIIntx, it doesn't
grok some of the prologue information, specifically something called
"frametoroket".

If anyone has information about where we can find an ditroff->ps filter
which specifically supports the Apple LaserWriterIIntx, please let me know!

Thanks!
Craig
