Thanks Pete! Looks like GNU enscript also builds on MPE/iX with only
marginal changes. While I have not yet tried a lot of its options, it
at least allowed me to convert a "plain text" file like HPSWINFO to
Postscript (including "2 up" landscape-with-two-facing-pages option)
and then to PDF with ghostscript. Nice tool. And enscript even has an
option to convert HP Roman8 properly (eg German Umlaut characters).

 myfile.txt --(enscript)--> myfile.ps --(ghostscript)--> myfile.pdf  :)
