- Since people are having problems with Post, I thought I'd share
- some scripts which I use to print or display with Post. I wrote
- them after I couldn't get Post to recognize my Prefs printer defaults,
- which I now think was a system bug in 1.3.

- ====
- ;Here is displayPS which displays a postscript file on the screen
-
- .key psfiles
-
- ; echo "PSFILES is <psfiles>"
-
- IF "<psfiles>" EQ ""
- echo "usage: DISPLAYPS files"
- skip done
- endif
-
- post:post post:init.ps <psfiles> screen size x612y792d72
-
- lab done

- ====
- ;here is printPS which prints to my epson compatible dot matrix
- ;printer at selectable density. High density is 240x216, medium
- ;is 120x144. The page size is 8.5x11 inches.
-
- .key psfile1,psfile2,psfile3,psfile4,high/s,medium/s
-
- ;echo "PSFILES is <psfiles>"
- ;echo "high is <high>"
-
- IF "<psfile1>" EQ ""
- echo "usage: PRINTPS files HIGH/s MEDIUM/s"
- skip done
- endif
-
- if "<high>" eq "high"
- post:post post:init.ps <psfile1> <psfile2> <psfile3> <psfile4> +
- printer size x2040y2376xd240yd216p7
- else
- if "<medium>" eq "medium"
- post:post post:init.ps <psfile1> <psfile2> <psfile3> <psfile4> +
- printer size x1020y1584xd120yd144p2
- else
- post:post post:init.ps <psfile1> <psfile2> <psfile3> <psfile4> +
- printer size x1020y792xd144yd72p1
- endif
- endif

- I just put them in my S: directory and make set the script bit so
- that they are executable.
