We just got release 2 of system V which includes the new device independent
troff (ditroff) among other things. Unfortunately, as distributed it does
not support output to raster devices like versatecs etc. Does anyone out
there have a driver to convert ditroff output to a raster image for a
versatec or some similar raster plotter? We'll also need a set of fonts
or utilities to convert Berkeley raster files to whatever format is
needed by the ditroff driver. (If you have a utility to convert tex
fonts, that might also be useful since we also have tex.) Please send
responses using the path shown below, not(!) the return path on this
article. Thanks in advance.
