[hylafax-users] manualmaker for HylaFAX

[Lee Howard <faxguy@deanox.com>]

Following is a shell script which will aid you in generating a Postscript
(print-ready) document containing a concatenation of all of the man pages
from HylaFAX.

The syntax is:

./manualmaker [filename]

If filename is not given, the Postscript is sent to stdout, so that you can
direct it to... say... a printer.

I'll be the first to admit that the font is small, that it doesn't make
perfect use of the full page, and that Courier-Bold isn't a 100% perfectly
fixed-width font.  Well, I'll let one of you deal with that if it's a big
enough issue for you.  The MANWIDTH, MANPL, and pitch values were
determined by working with it in MS Word, this Postscript development being
a later occurance... so it's not perfectly aesthetic, but it's readable,
and it gets the job done.

It runs on RedHat Linux 7.0... no guarantees about anything else.

Lee.
