NAME
     pspresent - fullscreen PostScript presentation tool

SYNOPSIS
     pspresent [options] file.ps

DESCRIPTION
     pspresent is a tool that displays PostScript slides in fullscreen, for giv-
     ing  presentations.   Navigation  is  simple,  and  the  display is double-
     buffered for seamless transitions between slides.	The actual rendering  is
     done in the background using Ghostscript.

OPTIONS
     -h     Show summary of options.

     -o     Do	not  override window manager.  pspresent will attempt to disable
	    decorations and resize itself to the size of the  screen,  but  will
	    otherwise  co-operate  with your window manager (which may mean that
	    it is not truly fullscreen).

     -s     Limit pspresent to only use the given head on a XINERAMA display.

     -O Portrait|Landscape|Upside-Down|Seascape
	    Override orientation.

COMMANDS

     slides.   If  Shift is depressed, then only the last page of each series of
     overlays is shown (an overlay set is identified as a series of  pages  with
     the same logical page number).
