   Module name:   A2PS.MDL
   Module I.D.:   A2PS
   Module type:   ASCII export module 
   Author:        Dirk Haun @ WI2
   Status :       Freeware
   Version No:    0.02 
   Version date:  23.02.1996
   Purpose:       Exports ASCII files as Postscript files


Description

The module converts any kind of ASCII text to Postscript files. Two 
pages of text will always be output on one side of a sheet (next to 
each other, turned through 90 degrees).


Please note:

Lines that exceed 89 characters will be truncated at that length.

The Atari Umlauts will be converted to the corresponding ISO Umlauts 
and hence output correctly. All other characters with ASCII values 
>127 will be output without conversion. Tabs will always be converted 
to four spaces, form-feeds and backspaces will be ignored.


Limitation:

The module can currently only convert complete texts. Any marked 
blocks will be ignored.


Credits

The Postscript code was copied shamelessly from the A2ps program
by Miguel Santana (e-mail: santana@imag.fr).

something unexpected, I cannot be held responsible for any sort
of damage caused thereby (whatever it may be) -- you use it at
