TEXTPS(8)						TEXTPS(8)

NAME
       textps - text to PostScript filter
       nscript - text to PostScript converter

SYNOPSIS
       textps  [ -T[option[,option]*]* ] [ lpr filter options ] [
       filename...  ]

       options: [ c=n ] [ l=n ] [ m=n ] [ t=n ] [ v=n ]

       nscript [ -G ] [ -r ] [ -2 ] [ -t width ]  [  -pfile  ]	[
       -Pprinter ] [ filename...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       textps  is  a  simple  text  to	PostScript  filter.  When
       invoked as nscript it (weakly) simulates the Adobe Systems
       Incorporated   enscript	 program,   converting	 text  to
       PostScript and adding headers.  textps is usually  invoked
       automatically  by a print spooler while nscript is usually
       invoked by a user.  Input files can use ISO Latin-1.   Two
       or more identical overstruck characters are rendered using
       a bold font.  Tabs are assumed to be set every 8 character
       positions.  textps is designed to produce good output with
       lpr -p or pr | lpr; if you  print  unpaginated  text,  you
       will  need to increase the t option value and decrease the
       v or l option value.

TEXTPS OPTIONS
       c=n    Use n characters to the inch.

       l=n    Use n lines per page.

       m=n    Use a left margin of n points.

       t=n    Position the baseline of the first line of  text	n
	      points below the top of the page.

       v=n    Use a vertical spacing of n points.

       The default behaviour is -Tc=12,l=66,m=18,t=8,v=12.

NSCRIPT OPTIONS
       By default, nscript will send the formatted output to lpr;
       the -P option can select the printer.

       -G     Gaudy output - a header and labels  for  the  input
	      files are placed on the output page.

       -r     rotated (landscape) output.

       -twidth
	      Set tab stop to width characters.

       -2     two column output.
