Re: scs2ps

["Chad S. Lauritsen" <csl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd be interested in taking a look at the code. I guess it would be nice
to get it in the CVS repository, but you'd have to talk to someone else
about that. In the meantime, is there an ftp site you can put it on? If
it is less than 10MB, I'd like to take a look at it and you can email a
compressed tarball to me (just me, not the list) 

Thanks!
