NAME
     textps - text to PostScript filter

SYNOPSIS
     textps [ -cn ] [ -ln ] [ -mn ] [ -tn ] [ -vn ] [ filename...  ]

DESCRIPTION
     textps  is a simple text to PostScript filter.  It is usually invoked auto-
     matically by a spooler.  Input files can use  ISO	Latin-1.   Two	or  more
     identical	overstruck  characters are rendered using a bold font.	Tabs are
     assumed to be set every 8 character positions.  textps is designed to  pro-
     duce  good  output  with lpr -p or pr | lpr; if you print unpaginated text,
     you will need to increase the -t option and decrease the -v or -l option.

OPTIONS
     The arguments for all options except -l are  floating-point  numbers.   The
     argument for -l must be a positive integer.

     -cn    Use n characters to the inch.

     -ln    Use n lines per page.

     -mn    Use a left margin of n points.

     -tn    Position  the  baseline of the first line of text n points below the
	    top of the page.

     -vn    Use a vertical spacing of n points.

     The default behaviour is -c12 -l66 -m18 -t8 -v12.
