prn2ps

PRN2PS(1)						User Contributed Perl Documentation						 PRN2PS(1)

NAME

       prn2ps - PostScript Conversion Utility

PURPOSE

       prn2ps converts Windows PostScript to Unix PostScript. The input to this program is typically generated by printing to a PostScript printer
       connected to the FILE: logical device. The output can be converted to Encapsulated PostScript using GhostScript's p2epsi program.

USAGE

	usage  : prn2ps [-h[help]] [-o[out_ext]]
		[-l[log_ext]] [-O[out_dir]] prn_file ...
       purpose: convert Windows PostScript to Unix PostScript
       version: 2.000	 (SDF 2.001)

       The options are:

	Option	     Description
	-h	     display help on options
	-o	     output file extension
	-l	     log file extension
	-O	     output to input file's (or explicit) directory

DESCRIPTION

       The -h option provides help. If it is specified without a parameter, a brief description of each option is displayed. To display the
       attributes for an option, specify the option letter as a parameter.

       By default, generated output goes to standard output. To direct output to a file per input file, use the -o option to specify an extension
       for output files. If the -o option is specified without a parameter, an extension of out is assumed.

       Likewise, error messages go to standard error by default. Use the -l option to create a log file per input file. If the -l option is
       specified without a parameter, an extension of log is assumed.

       By default, generated output and log files are created in the current directory. Use the -O option to specify an explicit output directory.
       If the -O option is specified without a parameter, the input file's directory is used.

       For each input file, the output is generated by:

       o   deleting the PageSize information

       o   deleting the control-D at the end of the file.

EXAMPLES

       To generate an Encapsulated PostScript file from Windows PostScript:

	 prn2ps -ops myfig.prn
	 ps2epsi myfig.ps

LIMITATIONS AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       If ps2epsi doesn't like the output, you may need to use another printer driver to generate the input. On Windows NT 4.0, the Canon PS-IPU
       Color Laser Copier v52.3 driver works most of the time.
