- Our local IBM mainframe has a 3820 laster printer on it that can handle
- duplex printing. The mainframe has TeX and dvi support for the 3820, but
- I'd rather use the TeX system on our unix system. My problem is moving the
- dvi files from the ascii based unix system to the ebcdic based ibm mainframe.
-
- I've done a little of of looking and asking around, but can't seem to find
- anything that looks like it would be useful for making an easy transition
- between the systems.
-
- Has anyone else done any TeX work on an IBM mainframe running VM/CMS?? Any
- suggestions on dealing with the transfers would be appreciated.
