My version of v1.2 of Phil Smith's text2pdf is working very well, 
wether the output is produced by "PIPE text2pdf file > output",
"define/user sys$output, then text2pdf file", or using the built-in
redirection.
The transfer should be ASCII, at least the PIPEd output is VFC record
format, 
and will not work if transferred in Binary mode.
I tested o.k. with acroread on Linux and Windows XP.  

(and I fetched also the version from eisner site it works as well in my
environment VMS 7.3-1,DECC 6.5).
