If his input is some source code, he probably wants a2ps and, as you mention below, ps2pdf. > OpenOffice.org supports outputting supported files to PDF as well.

Sure, but now the OP's original question just becomes "how do I produce PostScript output on FreeBSD." I still think it would be handy to know what the OP is actually trying to do. --=20 Paul. mailto:paulh@logicsquad.net --JI+G0+mN8WmwPnOn Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFAncre730Z/jysbzIRAnfmAJsFogwcCckFj1Gyzdulsm1HpsnvOACfZatD w2vGgAbmHetNZk8MiWzr0ck= =yWSB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --JI+G0+mN8WmwPnOn--
