Short: Postscript preview/printing utility.
TITLE
Post Enhanced
VERSION
Version 1.86enh
AUTHOR
Version 1.86enh enhancements, Robert Poole
Original code Copyright 1989, 1992 Adrian Aylward
DESCRIPTION
Post 1.7 is a great PostScript viewer, and my enhancements fix some
of its more glaring bugs and add functionality.
Post V1.86enh allows the user to view PostScript documents on screen,
send them to ANY preferences supported printer (contrary to claims
made in the recent announcement of GhostScript for the Amiga), or
create an IFF-ILBM file from the PostScript file. There are also
separate programs in the distribution (unchanged from Mr. Aylward's
distribution of version 1.7) which allow printing to the HP LaserJet
and compatibles (faster than printing through preferences) and which
allow band printing for printers with limited memory.
NEW FEATURES
* All Amigados 1.3 compatibility has been removed to facilitate a
better, more consistent user interface. Post now uses GadTools
menus and GadTools.library generated gadgets.
* Full-color fully 3-D windows. Post now uses a 16-color hires
screen for all its rendering regardless of the rendering mode
selected (B&W, RGB, CMYK) for document output.
* Full support for and use of ASL file requesters.
* Many bugs removed. Most notably, resizing windows will not destroy
their graphical contents.
* Post now offers compatibility with SunMouse and AutoPoint
commodities with a simple checkbox gadget.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
Post V1.86enh requires Amigados 2.04 or greater. Hard disk and
lots of RAM are highly recommended.

FILE NAMES
Post186enh_bin.lha
full distribution (except source code), contains all
fonts from the GNU GhostScript distribution (which are
themselves PD or covered by GNU Copyleft)
Post186enh_min.lha
All binaries, but only one font -- Funkyfont, which came
with Post 1.7. This file is all you'll need if you already
have a set of Adobe type 1 or type 3 fonts.
Post186enh_src.lha
Source code for all the binaries. Every effort has been made
to make these files compliant with SAS/C 6.x format.
PRICE
Absolutely free.
DISTRIBUTABILITY
Adrian Aylward's licence (included in the source distribution) allows
for very liberal redistribution of the source and binaries, plus
modified source and modified binaries (providing that the version
numbering system is significantly different from his). So, copy at
will, do what thou wilt.
