Nah, it can create text too (with control sequences, but that you
can filter away again, and mostly there are none, anyway).
I am actually not using it no more that often; i used it often to
review (80 column) code via printout, and it can/could give you
8 pages on a single DIN A4 paper. (Or two times 4 pages, to be
more exact.)
