Posting-number: Volume 17, Issue 35
Archive-name: psnup/patch01
Patch-To: psnup: Volume 16, Issue 104

This is the first patch for psnup. Please apply it by changing
directory to the directory containing the psnup distribution.
Unshar the patch file and then apply the patch by typing:

    patch -N -p < psnup.patch1

The psnup program takes arbitrary postscript as input, and wraps it
with additional postscript to implement n-up printing.  The input
postscript is taken from the file arguments, or stdin if no arguments
are specified.  The output is sent to stdout.

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