Here is a solution:
Can someone who is knowledgeable about tex make a .tar.Z file that contains the
absolute minimum to turn a tex file into postscript or text.
I do not want Tex. I do not want hundreds of fonts or have to learn any
terminology. I just want a filter so I can type:
tex2ps < fred.tex > fred.ps
and then delete the Tex file. This means text users can stay happy, and non
tex users can have it in ascii or postscipt for what they want.
