[macps & prepfix - print Mac files on Unix]
Macps is a Unix program that takes a PostScript file created on a Macintosh by
typing Command-F to the LaserWriter dialog box and includes an appropriately
modified LaserPrep file so that the result can be sent to a PostScript printer
from Unix. Unlike most of the other versions of this program, this one includes
a second program, prepfix, that converts LaserPrep files to a form compatible
with Unix (and can even be electronically mailed).

WHAT IS MACPS?
Macps is a Unix program that takes a PostScript file created on a Macintosh
by typing Command-F to the LaserWriter dialog box (see macps.1 for more
details) and includes an appropriately modified LaserPrep file so that
the result can be sent to a PostScript printer from Unix. The LaserPrep
file contains macros used by the PostScript generator on the Macintosh.
WHICH VERSION OF THE LASERPREP WILL BE USED?
Macps interprets the %%IncludeProcSet directive found in the PostScript
generated by LaserWriter driver 4.0 and greater. It takes the ProcSet
id and looks it up in a file "macps.config", to get the pathname of the
prep file, and thus macps can convert PostScript generated by different
versions of the LaserWriter driver (as well as from applications that
have their own ProcSet, such as FullWrite Professional, Aldus PageMaker
or Adobe Illustrator.
HOW ARE THE PROCSETS GENERATED?
Since the Apple LaserPrep files are copyrighted, I've included a program,
prepfix, that reads version 4.0 and up LaserPrep files, and edits them
so that they are compatible with Unix (and are even electronically mailable).
(See prepfix.1 for more details.) Other ProcSets will have to be done
manually.
WHERE IS THE MACPS.CONFIG FILE LOCATED?
Macps has some special code that is able to figure out from which directory
it was called from. The macps.config file is expected to be in a "lib"
sub-directory.
WHAT ABOUT BIT-SMOOTHING ON NON-LASERWRITER PRINTERS?
For PostScript printers using Motorola 680x0 processors and Adobe PostScript
firmware other than LaserWriters, there are options that will allow these
printers to do bit-smoothing, just like LaserWriters.

.TH MACPS 1 "19 Sept 1988"
.UC 4
.SH NAME
macps \- print Macintosh-created PostScript file on Unix
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B macps
[
file
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Macps
takes the command-line file (or the standard input if no filename is given),
and prepends the appropriate Macintosh LaserPrep file (e.g., those generated
by
.IR prepfix (1)).
The standard output can then be directed to a PostScript printer, via
.IR lpr (1),
for example.
.PP
The input PostScript file is generated on a Macintosh by typing (and holding)
command-F immediately after clicking the OK button of the LaserWriter printer
dialog box.
Another dialog will appear, confirming that a file named ``PostScript'' is
being created (the command-F keys can be released now).
This file can then be uploaded via some file transfer program, such as
MacTerminal/VersaTerm and
.IR macget (1)
or MacKermit/Red Ryder and
.IR kermit (1).
.SH FILES
.TP "\w'lib/macps.config 'u"
lib/macps.config
Maps ProcSet ids to ProcSet filenames
.SH "SEE ALSO"
lpr(1), macget(1), kermit(1), prepfix(1)
.SH BUGS
.I Macps
only works with version 4.0 and up of the Macintosh LaserPrep files, as
well as Aldus PageMaker, Adobe Illustrator and FullWrite Professional
LaserPrep files.
Because of the way bit smoothing is implimented by the LaserWriter driver,
many PostScript printers other than the Apple LaserWriters will not be able to
bit smooth.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Prepfix
takes the command-line LaserPrep file (or the standard input if no filename is
given), and converts it into a form that is useable on Unix with the
.IR macps (1),
and is even electronically mailable.
.PP
To use
.IR prepfix ,
create the input LaserPrep file on a Macintosh by opening an empty
document in some application, selecting
.B Print
from the
.B File
menu and then typing (and holding) command-K immediately after clicking the
.B OK
button of the LaserWriter printer dialog box.
Another dialog will appear, confirming that a file named ``PostScript'' is
being created (the command-K keys can be released now).
This file can then be uploaded via some file transfer program, such as
MacTerminal/VersaTerm and
.IR macget (1)

Normally, only Apple LaserWriters can take advantage of the bit smoothing
feature of the LaserPrep file.
However, other PostScript laser printer using the Motorola 680x0 processor
and the Adobe PostScript firmware can be made to do bit smoothing by
specifying for each printer either the
.B \-l
or
.B \-p
options for LaserWriter and LaserWriter Plus class machines, respectively.
The option argument is the first 63 characters of the printer's name (as
returned by the
.B product
command in
.BR serverdict ).
The resulting LaserPrep file will be modified so that for LaserWriters and for
printers specified in the
.B \-l
and
.B \-p
options, bit smoothing will be allowed (smoothing must still be selected in the
Print Dialog box when saving the PostScript to disk).
