1. The Bad News: Ghostscript doesn't do simple ASCII text files.
|
||
Anything fed to Ghostscript must be in the PostScript language.
|
||
|
||
2. The Good News: There are a couple of excellent programs available
|
||
to convert text into PostScript. LOUT will produce just about any
|
||
document style you want - it is a large program, with lots of features.
|
||
PSF is a simpler program to take simple ASCII text and output PostScript.
|
||
|
||
More?
|
||
Both should be available in the databases.

3. I wrote a program called CirCad that draws diagrams on the MM1 and
|
||
outputs PostScript code to a file that can be fed to Ghostscript
|
||
or a PostScript printer. There is a demo in the databases, (but the
|
||
PostScript output is not in it) -- MARKGRIFFITH (Dirt Cheap Computer
|
||
Stuff) distributes the complete program.

|

This is really the offer MM/1 owners should be seeking. Why go with an
|
||
unsupported, outdated version of G-Windows?? It goes against the very
|
||
reasons most of us want to get the port... so we can develop mainstream
|
||
graphical applications. I continue to support the Delmar port.

|
||
|

Thanks, Ed. By the way, while I appreciate Frank Hoggs effort to bring
|
||
G-Windows to the MM/1 - I beleive that the MM/1 community will benefit more
|
||
from a fully supported port , not a semi-supported version. I stand firmly
|
||
with Ed Gresick on this one.
|
||
Keep up the good fight guys!

I use Mplay to convert WAV to IFF. I beleive (sp) that you need to lie and

|
||
|
||
Lout is overkill to dump a simple, purely ASCII text file to a printer using
|
||
Postscript. Here is a program I wrote to do this. To create a Postscript
|
||
program to print an ASCII text file named foo.bar, you need to merge this
|
||
Postscript program with the data file and tack on a CNTL/D at the end.
|
||
Like this:
|
||
|
||
$ merge pstext.ps foo.bar >foo.bar.ps
|
||
$ display 4 >+foo.bar.ps
|
||
|
||
You can then print the Postscript file foo.bar.ps with Ghostscript. This
|
||
is also overkill, IMHO, since surely the printer you are using can accept
|
||
the pure ASCII text file on its own, right?
|
||
|
||
More?
|
||
Anyway, you can also print this file to a Postcript printer by doing a:
|
||
|
||
$ merge foo.bar.ps >/p
|
||
|
||
This Postcript program shades the paper with a technique that makes the
|
||
paper look like "green bar" paper. This shading may not look so good
|
||
on a dot matrix printer. In which case, search`tarough the program for
|
||
the comment on how to disable the green bar printing and follow the
|
||
directions.

One thing to remember. When you extract pstext.ps from this message, make

sure that there are NO blank lines after the last line, charloop, as
|
||
EVERYTHING which comes after that line will be taken as input and a blank
|

line will make everything you print start on line two on the first page.
