any2ps

any2ps(1)						      General Commands Manual							 any2ps(1)

NAME

       any2ps - Converts a file to mule internal code and then to PostScript format

SYNOPSIS

       any2ps [-in coding_system] [m2ps_options] < infile > outfile

OPTIONS

       Specifies  the  coding system (in the input file) that needs to be converted to mule *internal* code. By default, the input file is assumed
       to be in mule *internal* code, which means that code conversion is not done.  Specifies one or more options passed by any2ps  to  the  m2ps
       program.  Refer to m2ps(1) for a description of these options.

OPERANDS

       Specifies the input file to be converted to *internal* code.  Specifies the output PostScript file.

DESCRIPTION

       The  any2ps  command  is  an  alternative  to  running the coco and m2ps programs separately.  Like the programs that it invokes, any2ps is
       derived from software supplied by the Free Software Foundation.

       The any2ps program performs the following operations: Invokes coco to convert the input file from  the  specified  coding  system  to  Mule
       internal code (called *internal* code) Passes the converted result, along with the specified m2ps options, to m2ps for processing

       The m2ps program then generates the PostScript program file to be printed.

       Commands: coco(1), m2ps(1), mule(1)
