Anything that can do > (and usually does) more than that probably goes to print ("desktop > publishing"). I think xmgr is the only port that isn't either a tex tool or a postscript tool.

(transfig isn't either and there might be one or two more but basically it is tex and ps stuff). -- Dr Paul Richards, Originative Solutions Ltd.
