- A utility to print text files from a PC onto a Postscript(tm) laser printer
- /*****************************************************************************/
-
- I wrote this program as an in house ditty in order that I could take advantage
- of a laser printer on the network from my PC. Other people within the company
- started using the utility and submitting suggestions for improvement and bug
- reports. After releasing it to the world, I received many more suggestions for
- improving or enhancing PCPS and I tried to respond to these to the best of my
- ability.
-
- It soon grew into this product. As such, it is distributed with no guarantee as
- to its operation and no responsibility will be taken by me or my company for any
- damage or misadventure resulting from its use.
-
- Having said that, let me just add that I have never had any problems running
- this utility. The file PCPS.DOC is the documentation file providing detailed
- information on the useage of the program.
-
-
- LICENSE
- -------
-
- I have put considerable time into improving PCPS of late and intend to put a lot
- more time into it in the near future (including the development of a full PC
- font that will print on any postscript printer and not alter its state!).
-
- As such, I have now decided to release PCPS as "shareware". For full details,
- please refer to the file LICENSE.DOC

-
- Happy printing,

- Version 7.02 over 6.00
- ----------------------
-
- The main change in this version over the previous is the addition of supporting
- the european characters in the IBM/PC character set. All text fonts will now
- print out these characters. I was going to wait until I had also created a good
- PC font supporting all of the IBM/PC characters but decided that this feature
- would be useful immediately to those many people in European countries who have
- queried me about this feature. For those people running in a server environment
- I have enhanced the access to the two support files PCPS.CFG and PCPS.PPF -
- please read PCPS.DOC for details.
-
- Version 6.00 over 5.33
- ----------------------
-
- This version has had much "behind-the-scenes" work done on re-structuring and
- cleaning up to make future enhancements easier. In addition, this version now
- supports the PCPS.CFG and PCPS.PPF files, different screen sizes, and minus
- arguments. See PCPS.DOC for more info. Also, the handling of the initial
- prolog is now more efficient.
-
- Thanks to Herb, Laurence and many others for the great suggestions. I again
- ask those of you who have made other suggestions to be patient.
-
- Version 5.33 over 5.32
- ----------------------
-
- This version simply corrects a minor bug in the handling of Form Feeds. Thanks
- to those people who have made many good suggestions for improvements - I ask
- that you remain patient!
-
- Version 5.32 over 5.31
- ----------------------
-
- This version corrects a couple of bugs in handling TAB characters. Thanks
- to Laurence Nicolson of the University of Liverpool for reporting them.
- - TAB characters are now passed through if the -t switch is not specified.
- - TAB spacing now aligns with the DOS TYPE command and most editors such that,
- for a tab spacing of 8, the tabstops will be in columns 1,9,17 etc.
-
- Version 5.31 over 5.30
- ----------------------
-
- This version corrects a bug only apparent in "-i" mode with memory sort mode
- active. There is also a small modification to the display output.
