- Pps is a pretty printer for PostScript devices. It handles C, awk, sh,
- lisp, mail, PostScript and English; adding more languages is simple.
-
- Pps is almost as fast as plain text-to-PostScript filters, so some
- people here use it daily for source-code listing. Most of the work is
- done by the printer: Unix just separates the input into tokens, using
- different lex(1) programs for each language.
-
- Slide does the same, but ``expands'' the output to fit over a full
- page. This is useful for making overhead projection transparencies.
-
- Both pps and slide run on Sun, Vax, Gould, CCI, RT and other BSD
- machines; they used to cope with SVR2, but that was a long time ago.
-
- Edit the three first lines in Makefile to reflect your system
- conventions, then ``make install''.
-
- Enjoy!
