- POSTJET is (c)1996 Fabrizio Lodi
- Varexx, VXC and arexxport.library are (c)1995 Andrew Cook
-
- INTRODUCTION
-
- POSTJET is a very simple ARexx script that allow anyone who have an HP printer
- to print PS files using less paper.
-
-
- FIRST NOTES
-
- You have to forgive me for my very bad english :-)
-
-
- REQUIRMENTS
-
- In order to use POSTJET you'll need some things:
-
- 1) The command 'requestfile' in your path (standard in OS 2.0+)
- 2) The command 'search' in your search path (ehm...)
- 3) The command 'postlj' in your search path
- 4) The 'post.library' in your libs for postlj
- 5) The config file. See later.
-
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- You can leave the file 'postjet.rexx' wherever you want, but a good place is
- a directory in your search path.
-
- The file 'arexxport.library' have to live in your libs: directory.
-
- Then you must copy 'varexx' and 'vxc' in a directory in your search path.
-
- Finally, the file 'postjet.gui'. You can place it wherever you want because you
- can use the preference file to set this.
-
-
- PREFERENCES
-
- POSTJET search for a file called 'postjet.prefs' in the ENV: directory. This
- have to be made of 5 lines.
-
- The first line:
- The directory where you have put the 'postjet.gui' file, WITHOUT a trailing
- '/'. Valid examples: "tmp:" , "work:gui". Invalid ones: "tmp" , "work:gui/".
-
- The second line:
- The printer type. Two choices: 'deskjet' or 'laserjet'.
-
- The third line:
- The paper tipe. Three choices: 'letter', 'legal', 'a4'.
-
- The fourth line:
- PS init file. The path where is your init file, Example "post:init.ps".
-
- The fifth line:
- You have noticed that not all features of postlj are supported. As I've
- said this is a very simple script. If you want more, in this line you can
- add every postlj option that you want to use. This will be added to the
- standard ones. Pay attention to two things: if you don't want to use this
- feature you have to leave this line blank, but if you use it make sure
- that the added options are legal for postlj.
-
-
- USAGE
-
- Launch postlj.rexx ad use it!
-
-
- NOTES
-
- This is a BETA VERSION! I use it and it seems to work, but no one (you, perhaps)
- have ever used it. So you are becoming a beta tester :-)
-
- Jokes apart, if you use it and you like it make me know. So I'll add some features
- that now are not present because I don't want to work :-)
-
- And if you have problems, say it to me!
