This Bourne shell script can be called by the line printer daemon to invoke the appropriate translator to convert each data type to Post-
Script. The data type passed by may be specified by using the command with the -Ddatatype option, or by using the Da=datatype capability
in the file.
For a file in a data syntax to be translated to PostScript, the script must contain a case branch which recognizes the data type string and
calls a suitable filter. The supplied recognizes the ANSI, ASCII, ReGIS and Tektronix 4014 data types.

length

exec ansi_ps -F $pagesize -O $orientation -e "$@";;
ascii)
echo "( 04) cvn {} def"
exec ln03rof -w$width -l$length -i$indent;;
