mpfilters v1.0
--------------

These filters and scripts are designed to work with Sun's mp(1) command
to produce neatly formatted output on A4 paper.

There following formats are supported:

	script	columns	lines	width	format

	a4	1	66	80	portrait
	a4d	2	66	80	landscape
	a4q	2	128	80	portait
	a4s	3	105	80	landscape
	a4o	4	138	80	landscape
	a4lpw	1	105	240	landscape

Installation:

    There isn't a fancy install script or Makefile.

    Copy the files in the lib directory to a user accessible library
    directory.  I used /opt/gnu/lib/mp which I had to create.

    # cd /opt/gnu/lib
    # mkdir mp
    # chmod 755 mp
    # cd mp
    # cp /export/home/dave/mysrc/mpfilters/lib/* .
    # chmod 644 mp*


    Copy the scripts in the bin directory to a publically accessible
    bin directory.  I used /opt/gnu/bin.

    # cd /opt/gnu/bin
    # cp /export/home/dave/mysrc/mpfilters/bin/* .


    You will need to adjust the scripts if:

	You put the library files somewhere other than /opt/gnu/lib/mp

	You want to specify a specific printer other than "one that
	supports postscript".

Acknowledgements:

    The mp prologue files are based on the ones supplied as part of
    the SunOS and Solaris operating systems and contain code that
    belongs to Sun and Adobe.
