Is it not true that you need a Postscript cartridge in order
to run off Postscript files on an HP Laserjet printer?  If you
do not have one, you are out of luck.

The problem of having documentation in readable form is not an
inconsequential problem.  It would seem to me that some of
the following would be useful --
(a) ASCII text versions of the documentation
(b) PostScript interpreter to run off Postscript documentation
    on the more humble printers that do not have built in Postscript.
    (Is this not what Ghostscript is supposed to do?  If so, where
     do you get a version that runs on an MS-DOS machine?)
(c) Readily available Tex -- (Where does one get EmTex?)
(d) Documentation in the file format of a generally used word
    processor (Word for Windows, Word Perfect, Ami Pro?)

On the one hand, I am aware that gnu-djgpp for ms-dos is a
UN*X oriented port of the gnu compiler, but it is to be run
on ms-dos machines on which users can be expected to have a
normal complement of MS-DOS/Windows tools and applications.
