pcl2rgl
=======
This is a command line utility that lets you convert CMYK PCL printout files as
created by Acorn's !Printers to RGL files (a related printer language dialect).
The main difference is that whereas colours are interleaved in PCL they have to
be separated in RGL. This program is a post-processor that does that and a bit
more for you.
Usage:
pcl2rgl [-b # -r] infile(PCL) outfile(RGL)
Switches:
-b #: Buffersize to use. Default is 32768.
-r: Rich black. That means print black not just with the black colour
but also by superimposing C,M,Y. This will give a crisper image in
some cases and make stripes less obvious. Processing will be more
complex that way, however, since it involves uncompressing and
recompressing each rasterline.
This program was created an a request from P.C.Newble and works pretty well according
to him. Maybe somebody else can use it too. Its legal status is FREEWARE. I won't
accept any kind of responsibility for any kinds of damages resulting from using this
program. Use it entirely at your own risk.
