- RELEASE NOTES FOR PSPORT
-
- This is a utility of the 'one dumb job' variety. It does one job, and
- does it fast and with minimal hoorah.
-
- PSPort is SYSTEM 7 ONLY. Its only interface is Drag and Drop, so you
- cannot use it with earlier Systems. If you double-click on it from a
- System 6 machine, you will get an error message and the software will
- quit gracefully.
-
- PSPort does this: it filters PostScript files originating on MS-DOS
- or Unix systems and converts them so that they can be downloaded
- from Apple Macintosh computers. The conversions are these:
-
- Control-D (ASCII 4) is thrown away.
-
- Control-Z (ASCII 26) is thrown away.
-
- CR (ASCII 13) is passed unstranslated.
-
- LF (ASCII 10) is thrown away _if_ it follows a CR. If not,
- it is converted to a CR.
-
- That's it. PSPort has been tested to work on ASCII-encoded
- MS-DOS-originated PostScript files. I surmise it would be a
- Real Bad Idea to use it on Binary-encoded PostScript files...
-
- To use PSPort _with_ System 7, simply select the files you want to
- filter and drag them on the program's icon or an alias of it. New
- files will be created, and your original source files will remain
- unaltered.
