Wow! Major Response time!
I'm summarizing 24hrs from my original post time. Here is the list of PD
text to Postscript programs in approx. order of popularity...
==============================================================================
a2ps - prints two pages to a page to printer by default but
can be redirected. Has nice headings.
pstext - Simple ascii -> ps with some useful options
mp - mail/news print program (included in SunOS or PD version)
lwf - prints one page to a page to stdout
psf - text to postscript formatter which contains
rudimentary word processing & formatting capabilities;
bold, underlining, font & point size changes, etc.
lprps - no details on this one
text2ps - on world.std.com
mpage - prints 1, 2, 4 or 8 pagesto a page. Will also
mulitpage incoming PostScript files too. Prints
to printer by default but can be redirected
nenscript - PD version of Transcript
ghostscript - Major File/Image manipulation package
==============================================================================
I tried the top 2 and both worked great for what I needed.
