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.

NAME

       sdfcli - Command Line Interface Utility

PURPOSE

       sdfcli extracts command line interface (CLI) information from applications and formats it into SDF.

USAGE

	usage  : sdfcli [-h[help]] [-o[out_ext]]
		[-l[log_ext]] [-O[out_dir]] [-w wrap]
		utility ...
       purpose: format a utility's command line interface into SDF
       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
	-w	     column at which to wrap option specifications

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.

       sdfcli executes each argument with a -h flag and converts the resultant output to nicely formatted SDF. An argument of "-" specifies that
       the help should be read from standard input.

       Formatting is done as follows:

       1.  lines are tagged as Example paragraphs, with the first line formatted to wrap option usage specifications nicely

       2.  if a line is found that starts with 'options:', it is replaced with a Body paragraph saying "The options are:", and the following lines
	   are formatted as a table of codes and descriptions

       3.  if a line is found that starts with 'aliases:', it is replaced with a Body paragraph saying "The aliases are:", and the following lines
	   are formatted as a table of names and descriptions

       4.  each option code in the table is formatted as a hypertext jump to a tag called cmd_opt where:

	   o	   cmd is the command name

	   o	   opt is the option code

       The -w option specifies at what column to wrap option specifications.  The default is 50 - this is the best for output imported into the
       Mincom templates.

LIMITATIONS AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       The table formats used are hard coded.
