- README.OS2 - mpage 2.3 for OS/2 Warp (and 2.x) - 1996/04/06
-
- This is a fast and easy port of mpage for OS/2. To BUILD, you need the
- emx0.9c port of GCC (maybe it also works with previous versions,
- I haven't tried) and GNU make (3.74).
-
- Makefile: Check the makefile and set the OS/2 switches.
- encoding.h: You might want to default to codepage 850 encoding.
- In that case, copy the enconding.h.PC850 to encoding.h
- Copy the files from the OS2 directory to its parent directory
-
- Then run `make' ...
-
-
- Special files for OS/2:
-
- - README.OS2 : this file
- - encoding.h.PC850 : new encoding file for codepage 850
-
- In the OS2 directory:
- - mpage.def, msample.def : LINK386 module definition files
- - lpr.cmd : simple example for an `lpr'-pipe for OS/2
-
- For INSTALLATION copy `mpage.exe' to a directory in your path and copy the
- encoding files in `../Encodings' to the directory you have chosen. If you
- did not rebuild the executable, set the environment variable `MPAGE_LIB' to
- point to this directory, e.g. `set MPAGE_LIB=E:/usr/lib/mpage' in your
- `Config.Sys'. To run mpage, you need the emx runtime package (available from
- ftp.leo.org:/pub/comp/os/os2/). If you like mpage's `-P'-option, you should
- have an `lpr'-command in your PATH.
-
-
- RESTRICTIONS: I haven't bothered to change anything concerning the output;
- so it's best to pipe it to whatever you like [file, your PostScript
- printer, GhostScript (see `lpr.cmd'), NUL for testing the number of pages,
- ...].
-
- ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: To Marcel Mol for this fine and useful program.
- To Eberhard Mattes for emx/gcc that made this port possible.
