NAME
       ps630 - convert Diablo 630 print files to POSTSCRIPT format

SYNOPSIS
       ps630 [ -fbodyfont ] [ -Fboldfont ] [ -spitch ] [ -pfile ] [ files ]

DESCRIPTION
       ps630  reads in files (Diablo 630 format print files) and converts them
       to POSTSCRIPT format for printing on a POSTSCRIPT printer.  If no files
       are  specified, the standard input is used.  By default, the POSTSCRIPT
       program is sent to the standard output.	ps630 can convert nroff	 files
       generated with the -Txerox switch.  Typewheel emulation information may
       be specified as options.	 Font specifications (for  bold	 and  regular)
       are POSTSCRIPT font names (e.g., Times-Roman, Times-Bold, Courier-Bold,
       Courier-BoldOblique).  10,  12,	or  15	characters  per	 inch  may  be
       selected.

       The possible options are:

       -f bodyfont
	      sets  the	 font  to be used for normal printing.	The default is
	      Courier.

       -F boldfont
	      sets the font to be used for boldface.  The default is  Courier-
	      Bold.

       -s pitch
	      selects  type size for printing (both the regular and bold fonts
	      are scaled to this size).	 Pitch is in characters per  inch  and
	      must be one of 10, 12, or 15.  The default is 12.

       -p file
	      causes  the  POSTSCRIPT  file  to	 be  written to the named file
	      rather than the standard output.

ENVIRONMENT
       PSLIBDIR
	      path name of a directory to use instead  of  /usr/lib/transcript
	      for ps630 prologue.

BUGS
       Some  applications  produce  ``bold''  by  double striking a character.
       This will not appear as bold when translated into POSTSCRIPT.  Only the
       bold  produced by issuing the proper Diablo command sequence (escape-O)
       will result in bold characters.

       The output of ps630 cannot be page-reversed.

       Times-Roman and Helvetica are narrow fonts that may look squeezed if no
       adjustment of page width is made by the application.

       The following Diablo 630 commands are not supported: print suppression,
       HY-Plot, extended character set, downloading print wheel information or
       program	mode, page lengths other than 11 inches, paper feeder control,
       hammer energy control, remote  diagnostic,  backward  printing  control
       (note, however, that ``reverse printing'' is supported).
