-
- (1) Purpose:
-
- We were inspired by some utilities which allow
- people to transform an ASCII file to a postscript file
- and print it directly on a postscript printer. Now CHN2PS
- can do similar things as that. It will create a
- postscript format file from a file including Chinese
- characters (GB coded) and print two pages on each A4
- sheet (landscape). The font included with this utility is
- a vector font, you can specify any size of the
- characters.
-
- (2) Usage:
-
- CHN2PS is easy to use. If you just type CHN2PS
- without giving any parameters, a short piece of help
- message will be given.
-
- Syntax:
-
- CHN2PS [-n] [-l] fname[.gb]
-
- where: the "fname" is the file including Chinese
- characters, the default extension is ".gb". n is the
- size of characters in millimeter (mm), the default value
- is "3.1". "-l" specifing sheet size is Letter Size
- (8.5x11 inch), default is A4 size (210x297 mm).
- The result file will be "fname.ps". The font file
- should be in the current working directory or in the PATH
- of DOS, otherwise, CHN2PS will complain.
-
- Example:
-
- CHN2PS sample
-
- This will create a postscript file "sample.ps" from
- the included example file "sample.gb".
-
- If you happen to have a Postscript printer, you can
- print this file using the following command:
-
- Copy sample.ps PRN or
- Print sample.ps PRN
-
- If you do not have any postscript printers, you have
- to use the Gostscript which is a postscript emulator and
- can be downloaded from WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL (IP address
- 192.88.110.20) in the directory PD1:<msdos.postscript>.
- Supposing you have an Epson compatible printer, you
- can type:
-
- gs -sDEVICE=epson example.ps
-
