- This is a small and simple utility for Interleaf's wps software.
- It converts two pages to one output page and works only together with
- the "pl2ps" utility, version 1.4, supplied by Interleaf.
- Since it's the only thing available to me I have no idea if this
- (works / does not work) for something else you might have, though I
- would be interested to know...
-
- The installation is simple if you're a wps admin (which you have to
- be :-> ). Usually (I think - at least here!) wps is set up to spool
- its "pl" file through something like "pl2ps | lpr -Ppostscript".
- Create another pseudo printer, called for example cx2, that
- executes "pl2ps | wpshalf | lpr -Ppostscript".
-
- We have been annoyed by the numerous header pages floating around the
- printer. We do know who prints what and noone is going to come running
- to your office with your printings anyway. If you want wpshalf to
- suppress the headers, just uncomment (remove the "#" in front of)
- the line starting with "#/^headerpage|^logme/ ...".
-
- wpshalf works by fiddling with pl2ps's scale, hopefully this will always
- work, even for different printers. However, I'm no PS expert, so...
- The correct distances for translations were first calculated by
- scientific means. However, when that failed I chose a sowewhat more
- heuristic approach...
-
- Please forward comments, improvements, etc, to me. I know it's not perfect.
