Is there something like the adobe program enscript in the
GNU repertois? Or imprint from the Imagen side?
Thanks in advance,
Peter W. Brewer

The problem with modern technology is not only that it is changing so fast but
because of specialized fields and the need to be 'exact' in expressing ideas
'speciality words' are used by 'specialists'. One needs a high degree
degree of technical knowledge just to understand the 'hidden changes', or
"never have so many people understood so little about so much.' Without
comprehension voting on issues becomes emotional and we end up not voting for
the real issue at all. Thus, too often, important decisions are 'made for us'
by 'specialist technocrats'. To maintain our freedom a way must be found to
inform and educate everyone about the 'hidden changes' resulting from rapid
multi-disciplinary discoveries as well as their effect on us.
