- There's something called ps2txt. The results are pretty ugly,
- but look better after piping through fmt. Sorry, I don't know
- where to get it.

- I think a better solution is to grab the psf-package. It can be
- used as a filter system for PostScript-printers and as a converter
- for ASCII->PostScript. You'll find it on several ftp-servers. The
- current version is psf-3.5
-
- For another data point, I use something called a2ps. Use archie to
- find it, I can't remember where I got it.
