-
- Files in ./sources:
- -----------------------
-
- README This file
-
- makefile A symbolic link to ../makes/generic.mak
-
- bresnham.c Implementation of Bresenham algorithm (for line rasterization)
- chardraw.c Code for drawing ASCII characters
- getopt.c from GNU getopt, slightly modified -- don't re-distribute!
- getopt1.c from GNU getopt -- don't re-distribute, use original!
- hp2xx.c High-level routines for hp2xx
- hpgl.c HP-GL parser etc.
- no_prev.c A dummy previewer
- picbuf.c Code for raster ops (vector-to-internal-bitmap)
- to_amiga.c AMIGA previewer
- to_atari.c ATARI previewer
- to_dj_gr.c DOS full-screen (S)VGA previewer, based on DJ Delorie's gr lib
- to_eps.c Output converter for EPS (Encapsulated PostScript)
- to_ilbm.c AMIGA only: IFF-InterLeave BitMap converter
- to_img.c Output converter for IMF (DR's Image format)
- to_mf.c Output converter for Metafont sources
- to_pac.c Output converter for ATARI PAC format (unsupported)
- to_pbm.c Output converter for PBM (Portable BitMap) format
- to_pcl.c Output converter for HP PLC Level 3 (and some Deskjet extras)
- to_pcx.c Output converter for Paintbrush PCX format
- to_pic.c Output converter for ATARI PIC format (unsupported)
- to_pm.c OS/2 PM previewer (unsupported -- stderr output is lost yet)
- to_sunvw.c SunView previewer (unsupported -- outdated)
- to_uis.c VAX-VMS UIS previewer
- to_vga.c DOS full-screen VGA previewer
- to_x11.c X11 previewer
-
- bresnham.h Contains a basic struct -- needed by almost all C sources
- chardraw.h Header for character drawing.
- charset0.h Definition of built-in font / character set 0
- getopt.h from GNU getopt -- don't re-distribute, use original!
- hp2xx.h Central to almost all C sources
- iff.h AMIGA only: for IFF-InterLeave BitMap converter
- ilbm.h AMIGA only: for IFF-InterLeave BitMap converter
- x11.h Some X11 extras
-
-
- NOTE about unsupported formats:
- ------------------------------
-
- o to_dj_gr.c works fine on 386 and 486 CPUs, but I'd rather replace it
- by code both applicable to DOS and OS/2, and that will be
- emx.
-
- o to_pm.c is my first OS/2 PM project. It seems to work nicely, with
- the exception that I don't know how to re-direct hp2xx's
- diag output (to stderr or log file) into a second window
- WITHOUT significant changes in the sources.
-
- If you know a simple way -- please tell me
- (I'm aware of pmprtf -- this come close but won't do it).
-
- o to_pic.c The PIC format was mainly used by ATARI programs like
- Signum. I consider it outdated. Try to work with IMG.
-
- o to_pac.c Similar to PIC (compressed version of PIC), used e. g.
- by STaD.
-
-
-
- For installation, get a suitable makefile from ../makes and follow
- intructions in ../makes/README.
-
- For details of operation, see ../doc/hp2xxinf.tex (hp2xx.texinfo).
-
- Optionally test hp2xx with HP-GL files provided in ../hp-tests.
- E. g., run
-
- % hp2xx -h100 -w100 ../hp-tests/ascii.hp
-
- (This should result in a graphical display of the available
- character set 0.)
-
-
- Enjoy!
