Please forgive this second posting but I zapped my news feed late
last night.

I'm runing Xenix 2.2.3 and "Portfolio Suite" on an Everex 386/25 with
8mb of ram.  I just installed Microsoft Word Version 5.0 and set up
an NEC LC890 Silentwriter as a Postscript printer.  Printing from within
WORD works fine but now how do I print from Xenix?

Starting last week at UNIFORUM I'v asked at least 8 different people
from SCO how this could be done.  The answers are as follows.

1. I'ts built into the OS, just do mkdev lp and pick the postscript
   interface. WRONG!

2. I'll FAX you a script.
   The script referenced two files I don't have. (/usr/bin/pscat psprint)

3. It's in the Text Processing system but I don't know anything about that.

4. You have to buy EROFF.  (I've heard SCO can't sell this because they don't
   have a signed contract)

5. Etc. Etc...........

Can anyone help with a Xenix interface file for a postscript printer?
Or tell me where to buy one.
