Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting WARNING! 16126 bare linefeeds received in ASCII mode Post 302934835 by rbatte1 on Wednesday 11th of February 2015 08:18:43 AM

We had a similar requirement to transfer vast amounts of data across a small network link from one site to another. We used PKZip from PKWare to achieve it. There is a cost to the software I think, but it did the job beautifully. We closed our window for data transfer from 38 hours to about 6 - obviously we had plenty of CPU available to do the compression part.

Results will vary depending on the data volume, data structure, the CPU available and the network speed, but it was pretty impressive. The EBCIDIC to ASCII conversion was handled, but we could not send packed data and we had to be careful with unusual characters, e.g. those with accents etc.

I'm sure other vendors may also be able to help you too.

NAME
paps - UTF-8 to PostScript converter using Pango SYNOPSIS
paps [options] files... DESCRIPTION
paps reads a UTF-8 encoded file and generates a PostScript language rendering of the file. The rendering is done by creating outline curves through the pango ft2 backend. OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. --landscape Landscape output. Default is portrait. --columns=cl Number of columns output. Default is 1. Please notice this option isn't related to the terminal length as in a "80 culums terminal". --font=desc Set the font description. Default is Monospace 12. --rtl Do right to left (RTL) layout. --paper ps Choose paper size. Known paper sizes are legal, letter and A4. Default is A4. Postscript points Each postscript point equals to 1/72 of an inch. 36 points are 1/2 of an inch. --bottom-margin=bm Set bottom margin. Default is 36 postscript points. --top-margin=tm Set top margin. Default is 36 postscript points. --left-margin=lm Set left margin. Default is 36 postscript points. --right-margin=rm Set right margin. Default is 36 postscript points. --gutter-width=gw Set gutter width. Default is 40 postscript points. --help Show summary of options. --header Draw page header for each page. --markup Interpret the text as pango markup. --lpi Set the lines per inch. This determines the line spacing. --cpi Set the characters per inch. This is an alternative method of specifying the font size. --stretch-chars Indicates that characters should be stretched in the y-direction to fill up their vertical space. This is similar to the texttops behaviour. AUTHOR
