Hello,

* Framemaker can produce postscript files (in the pop-up menu of the
  print command specify you want a postscript file). Frame runs on
  unix boxes and on MacIntoshes so you can do that smoothly on a
  MacIvory or a UX machine. You might also ask the question on the
  framers mailing list: framers@DRD.Com & framers-request@DRD.Com

* Slug tape used to contain a (tremendously slow) version of the
  Tex/LaTeX family (tried it in the old days of 6.1 or 7.0 on a 3670).
  It did produce postscript for the LGP2.

* Any unix box will let you produce Postscript with TeX/LaTeX (using
  dvi2ps).

* I do not know enough about *roff stuff but on the unix system I use
  there is a script called "ptroff" (Copyright (c) 1985 Adobe Systems
  Incorporated) to produce postscript from troff input.

Hope this helps,

Sincerely yours,
