Three Responses -
One person suggested I pull a newer version of mp off the Net - the one I
am using is the standard (old) one w/ OW3: which mp /usr/openwin/bin/xview/mp
what mp
mp: _crt1.S 1.6 91/02/11 SMI
_crt2.c 1.4 91/02/11 SMI
Two people suggested I get rid of mp altogether and use "a2ps" instead.
Unfortunately, no one told me where to find these files on the net.
If someone could tell me where to find the latest mp and a2ps files, I will
start using them.
