TEXT2PS.ZIP (c) 1994 by PHADE Software   Wed Apr 13 12:47:07 EDT 1994
=====================================================================

This is the TEXT to POSTSCRIPT converter running under DOS. Its
based on the filter called "unix2ps" by Alfred Kayser, DNPAP.
Many thanks to him.

It was compiled with Gnu's DOS-port of their GCC-compiler,
called DJGCC Version 2.4.1 and NDMAKE Version 4.5. So please
read the GNU-Licence-file 'LICENCE.GNU'.

The DOS executable in this distribution is named TEXT2PS.EXE
and a man-page already formatted for MSDOS-system called
TEXT2PS.1


SHAREWARE
---------

UNIX2PS is inexpensive shareware. If you are continuing using
it after a 30 day trial-period, please send a letter containing
the filled and signed registration-form and the little donation
of 10 $ or 15 DM in cash to the adress below.

The you will receive a PASSWORD enabling you to encrypt the
full-licenced version shipped in the archive FULLTEXT.ZIP using
the command 'pkunzip -spassword fulltext.zip'. This will
overwrite the shareware version of TEXT2PS.EXE

ATTENTION: The dots the shareware version of TEXT2PS.EXE produces
are just delay, to force you to register.

ATTENTION: A registration is recommended for commercial use.

ATTENTION: The full-licenced version is restricted to a local
           area netword (company) or a privat single host.


NEEDS
-----

Version 1.0 of TEXT2PS is compiled with a new version of DJGCC,
the executable is now running under DPMI (so even in a Windows-
DOS-Box), but still needs at least a 386-machine.

The Gnu-environment-executable 'GO32.EXE' has to be somewhere
in the PATH. If running on a 386, the GNU-387-emulationfile
'EMU387' has to be, where the environment variable GO32 is
pointing to, so if the emu-file is in D:\LIB enter:

  set GO32=emu d:/lib/emu387

and then just start the program by typing

  TEXT2PS < foo.txt > foo.ps


CHANGES
-------

Please do not recommend any big changes or any new versions
of this program. Its working all right, doing its job and
there is really NO need in enhancing it. But, if it should
not work on any DOS-system, please report it with a complete
description to the e-mail-adress below.


That should do, Phade
