     MSDOS Port of PostScript Utilities (Release 1 Patchlevel 10)


1. This is an MSDOS port of parts of PostScript Utilities (Release 1
   Patchlevel 10). The original source codes are available from:

	walton.maths.tcd.ie: /src/TeX/misc/psutils-1-10

   The only modifications to sources are:

        fopen(..., "r") ---> fopen(..., "rb") /* most .c files */
        fopen(..., "w") ---> fopen(..., "wb") /* most .c files */
        #define TMPDIR "/tmp" ---> #define TMPDIR "." /* psutil.h */

   Compilation is done by Young U. Ryu using DJGPP 1.10.
   The attached DOS extender is go32.exe 1.10c, a modification of
   go32.exe 1.10 by Charles Sandman.

   All executables require a 32 bit processor such as 386 or 486.
   It runs under a DPMI memory, thus under a DOS box of Windows.
   To disable use of DPMI, add the following line to your
   autoexec.bat:

        set go32=nodpmi

   or if you already have a go32 statement, add nodpmi:

	set go32=... ... nodpmi ... ...

   I am not sure if executables require a math coprocessor. If they
   do but you don't have one, you may emulate a math coprocessor
   using an emulator distributed with DJGPP 1.10.

   PROGRAMS

   psbook          rearranges pages into signatures
   psselect        selects pages and page ranges
   pstops          performs general page rearrangement and selection
   epsffit         fits an EPSF file to a given bounding box

   psselect in modeled after Chris Torek's dviselect program, and psbook is
   modeled after Tom Rokicki's dvidvi program. psbook is modeled on my own
   dvibook program, which borrows heavily from Chris Torek's dviselect.

   Bug fixes and suggestions to ajcd@dcs.ed.ac.uk

   (ajcd@dcs.ed.ac.uk has nothing to do with this MSDOS port.)

   NOTE

   This is an interim release; these utilities are currently being re-written
   from scratch, with a full DSC-3.0 parser and more extraction, merging, and
   inclusion options included.
