This directory contains the sources for atp, an ASCII to Postscript
converter.
Features:
---------
- Produces PostScript output conforms to the Document Structuring conventions.
- Handles a 8 bit (ISO-Latin) character set
- Support for normal or 'gaudy' output
- Allows the selection of papersize, number of columns, margins, landscape
or portrait mode.
- Fold/cut long lines
- Line numbering
- Recognizes and uses a great number of fonts
Special Features:
-----------------
- Understands the nroff's bold and italic backspace conventions (that
allows to print a file generated by 'man' preserving the highlighting
of the italic and bold characters).
- If the input file is a C or C++ source, atp recognizes the comments
and the the headers of the function definitions, and highlights
them using a different font for the comments and painting a
shaded frame around the function headers.
- It is possible to modify the fonts by means of a transformation
matrix (see the man page for the details.).
Installation:
-------------
type 'gunzip atp-1.2.tar.gz'
'tar -xvf atp-1.2.tar' to create the directory /atp-1.2,
modify the Makefile to select the default papersize,
then type 'make' to compile.
To compile under MSDOS, modify the Makefile adding the flag -DMSDOS.
Changes since v1.1:
------------------
- Compile also under MSDOS. (Thanks to Kenneth H.Carpenter, khc@eece.ksu.edu)
- Added preprocessor option to set A4 or letter-size as default.
Added -date switch and modified default settings. (Thanks to Gabor J.Toth,
jtoth@princeton.edu)
- Added -M option to specify margins,
-r option to wrap the text without breaking the words
New Makefile. (Thanks to Arlin B. Collins)
- Added -wm option to paint a 'watermark' string. (Thanks to Uwe Kempf)
- Fixed more bugs...
Changes since v1.0:
------------------
- Fixed some bugs. Now atp run also on SGI.
- Rewritten the code to find the C function definitions headers.
Now are highlighted also the function's headers that span multiple lines.
- Removed all the error messages in Italian... :-)
- Added the -l option to format the pages to 66 lines (useful for man pages).
- Pass through postscript files.
- Support c++ files (understand // comments).
