There's a couple. the 'doc' application from the 'iv' port does it, but I don't know that I'd recommend it, because iv is _huge_ (unless you need a neat C++ graphics/gui library) the size isn't justified. If you have tex installed (say from the ports teTeX distribution) then noname (yeah, it's called noname) does print postscript, and it's WYSIWYG. noname requires Motif, but there's a statically compiled version on wcarchive.cdrom.com, in pub/FreeBSD/incoming. > > Richard > > ========================================================================== Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu, I run FreeBSD-current on n3lxx + Journey2 Three Accounts for the Super-users in the sky, Seven for the Operators in their halls of fame, Nine for Ordinary Users doomed to crie, One for the Illegal Cracker with his evil game In the Domains of Internet where the data lie.
