Help!  We need software that produces quality text output -- preferably
PostScript -- for VENIX or XENIX.  nroff doesn't hack it, troff doesn't
speak PostScript, and I've never heard of a ditroff for PC-based Unixes.
FinalWord II from Mark of the Unicorn looks wonderful, but it only runs
on MS-DOS and when asked about Unix they said "Never".  Sigh.  We don't
have a Pascal compiler, or we might have a bash at TeX.  Suggestions?
(I know, I know, buy a Sun and run Interleaf...  we're not that rich yet.)

The bottom line is we could do it with MS-DOS (and probably will if we
have to) but would really prefer something that ran on Unix.
