A slight exaggeration: I've recompiled gs on an 8MB 486 (it takes a
few hours, but you only have to do it once).  Increasing the maximum
process size in the kernel is straightforward: change SEGMAPSIZE in
/sys/src/9/pc/mem.h from 16 to 32 and rebuild.

Only if you rebuild it with the driver in, and then not on a vanilla
PC kernel. You'll need to increase the maximum process size, and
ensure you have 32Mb (more preferably) to survive the link phase. My
P133 with 32Mb and a very fast disk for swap still thrashes for 5-10
minutes.

That would be nice.

Ghostscript can convert postscript to bj10.

Does anyone have boddles for newer versions of gs?  The cdrom 
ships with gs2.something.

I need help in converting dvi/ps files to drive 24-pin panasonic 2123 and
Canon bubble jet BJ 10.

I have a LINUX SLAKWARE distribution (March 1995) that seems to have the
binaries but I can't locate the source code. I assume that source code could
be compiled on PLAN9 with 8c and the resulting binary would translate dvi/ps
to something my printers would understand.

Any help would be greatly valued!
