We are considering purchase of the Textware Int'l software driver
for the HP Laserjet for troff on the SUN workstation.  We are going
to be using eqn and tbl a lot.  I have heard rumors that since the
Laserjet must be driven in graphics mode to do the special characters,
that the resulting printing is a very slow process when there are
lots of equations etc. Anyone have any experience with this software?
