This is a new version of a2ps, a program to format an ascii file for
printing in a postcript printer. As the copyright indicates, this
distribution can be freely redistributed.
Initial version was a shell program written by evan@csli (Evan
Kirshenbaum). It was very slow and contained many bugs. The new
version was written in C by Miguel Santana for improve speed
execution and portability. New features and improvements have
been added. I just did a simple port to the Amiga.
Some notes on the distribution:
Installation is done by modifying and executing Makefile included
in this distribution. You must give your own values to two variables:
- HEADER_PS with the included Makefile, a2ps will search S: for
the file a2ps.ps at execution time.
- compiler compiler name, actually one of UNIX, SYSV, ANSIC. Turbo
C and Microsoft C are considered ANSIC compilers. On the
Amiga compile with the ANSIC flag for either Manx C or
Lattice C compilers.
a2ps has been successfully ported to Unix 4.3BSD, Unix SystemV, MSDOS,
and AmigaDOS.
The a2ps distribution consists of the following files:
README This message
Makefile
a2ps.c a2ps source
a2ps.1 a troff manual (man file)
a2ps.ps postcript header used by a2ps
Decide where you want to keep these files and move it there.
Edit "Makefile" and change the definition of HEADER_PS (to
reflect the full pathname of a2ps.ps) and of compiler name.
To make a2ps do:
make a2ps
To install it, do:
make install
Format the manual entry using
nroff -man a2ps.1
