- 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
