Don't know if something like this has already been posted here.......
Recently, I needed to be able to place in 2 inch letters diagonally
across all pages output from ptroff (Transcript) the word DRAFT in
faint letters.
Below is shell script that takes as `stdin' the output from `ptroff -t'
and sends to `stdout'. I called this shellscript `makedraft' and
would be called via:
ptroff -t <other flags & input_files> | makedraft | lpr -Pps
There are probably easier ways to do this, or more efficient, but
it does work.
#!/bin/csh -f
sed 's/^%%EndProlog/\/DRAFT {save \/Times-Roman findfont 200 scalefont setfont\\
72 3 mul 72 1 mul moveto\\
60 rotate 0.99 setgray (DRAFT) show restore } def\\
%%EndProlog/' |\
sed 's/^BP/DRAFT\\
BP/'
I found it very useful and thought other might also.
