I'm looking for a unix tool called "enscript". It formats text
files for printing on a postscript printer, with options for nice
headers, two-page mode, different fonts, etc. It's Real Nice for
reading source listings (reduces eye strain), saves trees because
it fits more lines on a page, and makes even ugly code look good.
- Thanks in advance
Please e-mail responses - if there's interest I'll post a
follow-up.

You'd save even more trees with a2ps, which prints 2 pages side-by-side, in very small fonts. I use it all the time in preference to enscript. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: tim@maths.tcd.ie

enscript is part of the Transcript package available from Adobe (the postscript people). James -- James Brister brister@decwrl.dec.com DEC Western Software Lab., Palo Alto, California. .....!decwrl!brister

Welllll, copyrighted but you are allow free useage and you also have the source code.
