The Question is:

 
Hi
How can I convert text files to postscript files in OPen VMS ?

The Answer is :

 
  Most printers can perform this conversion for you, and
  can auto-select the appropriate print format for the
  incoming print job.  If not, acquire and install the
  DECprint Services (DCPS), the Ghostscript tool set,
  or similar package.
 
  If you have the CDA converters installed (as part of
  the DECwindows package), try the following DCL command:
 
    CONVERT/DOCUMENT -
      SYS$LOGIN:LOGIN.COM/FORMAT=TEXT -
      SYS$LOGIN:LOGIN.PS/FORMAT=PS
