- Sometime ago I announced that I had taken the postscript LASER symbiont and had
- made many changes to it, including adding tektronix support. I recently fixed
- several bugs I had found with it, so I am announcing it again. Anyone
- interested in it should FTP it from PFC.MIT.EDU. Some of the new features are:
-
- Automatic detection of postscript and tektronix files.
- Notification and error messages broadcasted to user's terminal.
- Emulation of DECPrint PRINT/PARAMETER= commands.
- Can specify start and end pages.
- NUMBER_UP capability.
- HEADERS form modified to allow specifying font size and
- allow alternating left and right margins at end of page for
- double sided output.
-
- If there is interest, I can post the sources here.
