- You might try the GNU textutils, ported by Kai Uwe Rommel. (In particular,
- check 'pr'.) Rommel has DOS/OS2 bound versions and OS/2 2.0-only versions in,
- respectively,
- pub/os2/all/gnu/ and pub/os2/2.0/gnu/
- at ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.
-
- If you have a postscript printer, I have seen some text-to-postscript
- (ps-up is on ftp-os2 somewhere--I have not tested). (Side note: ps-to-text
- by Jason Black recently appeared (on comp.languages.postscript?) and it
- easily compiles using MSC 6.0a for DOS/OS2. ps-to-text is not the answer to
- the original post.)
