Many changes have been made between Version 1 and Version 2:
- *BIGGIE* Printing of backspaces, overwrites, formfeeds and other
text is greatly improved. I changed the whole way text was processed
and the code went from 3 unreadable pages to one very readable page.
It is amazing what the right approch can do.
- *ANOTHER BIGGIE* PostScript documents can now be printed. Most
conforming will be properly printed, multple pages per sheet. There
is still clean up to do here, but it seems to work. I think that when
I hit upon the right paradigm for this, it will clean up just like the
text processing code did. (XRef: TODO)
- Outlines are now optional. If you like to see them (as I do) put the
"-o" option in your MPAGE environment variable.
- Added recognition of the PRINTER and MPAGE environment variables.
- Added the beginnings of support the European A4 paper. (The method
should be extended to legal sized paper.) Credit goes to Michael
Fingerhut, System Manager, IRCAM Paris (France), (...!uunet!ircam!mf)
for the inspiration for the proper way to do this.
- MPage now prints a message stating how many pages (sheets) were
created and to which printer it was spooled.
- Stuffed the sources under RCS to keep track of changes.
