[comp.sys.sgi] Enscript for IRIS?

hulbert@caen.engin.umich.edu (Gregory Mark Hulbert) (07/26/90)

Does there exist a version of Adobe's Enscript program for IRISes?
I miss this program from my Sun days.
Thanks for any help,

Yes - SGI ships enscript as part of the trans.sw.trans and
trans.man.trans packages.

				Thanks, take care ...

Adobe's Transcript package (which includes Enscript, ps4014, and other 
goodies) works fine on the SGI 4D series machines by using the provided 
sysv script in the package. We have the copy running on several 200-series 
machines as well as the PI's. The only problem is that there's a typo in 
the makefile... I seem to recall this was dumb flag in the sed statement. 
It's trivial to fix. The rest is just the compile, which takes about 10 
minutes max. You'll need to play around with the lp interface files and 
use the lpr/lpd package form the sgi archive for the printout to come out 
properly. Hope this helps.
