Greetings once again! I need some help on postscript. I am trying to translate ascii into postscript so that it wraps the line correctly. I've used a2ps and GNU enscript, as well as textfmt. None of them do it right. The postscript always comes out as full justified text. The right edge gets wrapped wherever the margin is, not at word boundaries. Is there some application that I can find to wrap the words to the next line instead of splitting them in the middle of a word? I'll write one myself if needed, but why recreate the wheel? (It would vary based on the font used, of course, so it's not so simple as wrapping at 80 characters or the nearest word break. I'd need to compute the amount of space the characters would use.)
