I am doing some consulting for a local company which is using version
4 of Interleaf on a VAXstation running VMS. (Yes, I tried to tell them
to upgrade a long time ago.) They have used it for a long time and
have written a number of programs specific to their business which
generate ASCII markup input for Interleaf.
We need to generate a Postscript output file, which we then want to
convert to PDF file, maybe with Ghostscript. (This version of
Interleaf does not have an option to generate Postscript directly from
the desktop.)
It seems like the pl2ps filter ought to do the trick: just generate
the Printerleaf file and use pl2ps (Version 4.0.5) to generate the Postscript. I have tried
pl2ps -usage
and got a list of the options. I have tried the obvious
pl2ps -i my_file.pl -o my_file.ps
and the less obvious (from a logical name IWS4_??_ARGV, didn't write
down the name)
pl2ps -i my_file.pl -o my_file.ps -v -T pslw+ -r 1270 -RV
In either case, the program prints the contents of a file,
pspro.ps_4_0_5, to the screen, then prints an error message
unable to figure which lfu to use
No output file is produced.
A search through this group and other places revealed that pl2ps has a
well deserved reputation for user hostility. Does anyone know what the
proper
options/syntax would be?
Thanks!
