- + PSNUP README Patch 1
- +
- + Chris Lewis
- +
- + This release is a combination of two things: a generalized n-up processor
- + for postscript files, plus a shell wrapper script and manual page.
- + Ned Batchelder wrote the postscript n-up handling and postscript
- + compressor program, and I wrote the shell wrapper script and manual page.
- + I include the original README from Ned Batchelder below. Note, however,
- + that the psnup shell script performs the parameter substitution that Ned
- + refers to. Therefore, you don't have to do anything to the nup.* stuff.
- +
- + Patch 1 note: I'm more than a little embarrassed about the difficulties
- + in the shell script and manual page. That's what comes of not testing
- + the final version. In particular, the manual page did not make it clear
- + that the origin for "-s" is 0 not 1, and the default should be 0 not 1,
- + and that the -r & -R implementation was reversed. Hence the fixes to
- + psnup.sh and psnup.1. As well, there was a bug in psc.c in that the
- + return from getchar() was defined as a char, which can cause infinite
- + loops on some machines.
- +
- + Other changes include this little note in the README (because some people
- + were editting nup.* directly, which they don't need to) and a removal
- + of the "%!" from nup.post.ps.
- +
- + Psroff (CAT & ditroff -2- HPLJ/ditroff/Postscript) has been
- + modified to utilize the nup.epi and nup.pro files. So, you'll want
- + to keep this if you intend to use psroff. Psroff 3.0 will be released
- + soon.
- +
- + And finally, like all n-up programs, it is possible for it to be fooled.
- + Nup does what it does by redefining a few operators, such as initgraphics.
- + Be aware that some applications (tpscript seems to be one of them) will
- + foul up nup's definitions, and the results will not be what you intended.
- + -------------------------------------------
- Nup is designed to be used as a wrap around any PostScript file.
- Simply prepend nup.pre.ps, and append nup.post.ps, and it should work. There
- are three tokens in nup.pre.ps which need to be changed before sending it to
