Dear Bo,

I will be very interested in getting ChiRK 1.0 that you recently
released. At the moment I am interested in how well it works on
converting gb files into ps file by using it as a filter. You
mentioned its capability of doing that in the READ file:

Can you tell me where I can get a tek to ps filter?

We have ps4014 installed on our machine. I don't know if the program is
commercial. Anyone knows if there's a public domin Tektronics to Postscipt
converter avialable and the location of the sites?

Thanks.

Bo

tek2ps in comp.sources.unix v11i049: Tektronix4014 to PostScript filter,
is in public domain.  Also availble at simtel20 (used to be in
PD2:<UNIX-C.POSTSCRIPT> as TEK2PS.TAR-Z.  But, I only got the last page
out.  And the size of sample.3 enlarged from 2720 to 915440.  The bitmap
font didn't work right on my xterm.

However, the tek mode is a great idea.
