NAME
dpsexec - Display PostScript Executive SYNOPSIS
dpsexec [ -display name ][ -sync ][ -backup ][ -noexec ][ -root ][ -drawable windowId ][ -height n ][ -width n ] DESCRIPTION
dpsexec is a Display PostScript program that allows the user to interact directly with the PostScript interpreter through a command inter- face. dpsexec reads lines of text from standard input and passes each line to the PostScript interpreter for execution. It creates a win- dow that displays the results of graphics operations as they are executed. dpsexec exits when end of file is reached on standard input, or when the user types "quit<return>", which executes the PostScript quit operator. By default, dpsexec executes the PostScript executive operator before it accepts any user input. This operator puts the PostScript inter- preter in "interactive executive" mode so that the user can control the interpreter directly. In this mode, the PostScript interpreter supports certain line-editing functions and prompts the user when it is ready to execute more input. See section 2.4.4, "Using the Inter- preter Interactively," of the PostScript Language Reference Manual, Second Edition, for detailed information on this mode of operation. OPTIONS
-display name specifies the display on which to open a connection to the Display PostScript system. If no display is specified, the DISPLAY envi- ronment variable is used. -sync establishes a synchronous connection with the specified X display. -backup uses backing store for the window in which graphics are displayed, if possible. This is generally only effective with the DPS NX system. -noexec prevents dpsexec from entering "interactive executive" mode. The primary effect of this option is to inhibit printing the PS> prompt before each line of input is accepted. This option is useful when dpsexec is run with standard input redirected from a file or a pipe. -root tells dpsexec to draw into the root window instead of into a window that it creates. -drawable windowId tells dpsexec to draw into the specified window instead of into a window that it creates. -height n sets the height of the created window. -width n sets the width of the created window. DIAGNOSTICS
PostScript language error messages are printed to standard output. AUTHOR

NAME
psresize - multiple pages per sheet SYNOPSIS
psresize [ -wwidth ] [ -hheight ] [ -ppaper ] [ -Wwidth ] [ -Hheight ] [ -Ppaper ] [ -q ] [ infile [ outfile ] ] DESCRIPTION
Psresize rescales and centres a document on a different size of paper. The input PostScript file should follow the Adobe Document Struc- turing Conventions. The -w option gives the output paper width, and the -h option gives the output paper height, normally specified in cm or in to convert PostScript's points (1/72 of an inch) to centimeters or inches. The -p option can be used as an alternative, to set the output paper size to a3, a4, a5, b5, letter, legal, tabloid, statement, executive, folio, quarto, 10x24 or _glibc, where latter one means the format of the current locale. The default output paper size is _glibc. The -W option gives the input paper width, and the -H option gives the input paper height. The -P option can be used as an alternative, to set the input paper size. The default input paper size is _glibc. Psresize normally prints the page numbers of the pages output; the -q option suppresses this. EXAMPLES
The following command can be used to convert a document on A4 size paper to letter size paper: psresize -PA4 -pletter in.ps out.ps ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
LC_ALL, LC_PAPER These variables are specifying the papertype when used paper is _glibc. For details see the locale(7) manpage. AUTHOR
