  4             * Defaults.py.in => strip the `.in' before the highlight rule detection.
  5             
  6             * Fix config file parsing so that it is possible to set the value to
  7               an empty string.  For example, on HP-UX 9.x/10.x there are no
  8               NoJobHeaderSwitch, so the users might want to set:
  9             
 10             	NoJobHeaderSwitch:
 11             *
 12              > - The --help string should say something like `Convert plain text,
 13              > possibly with embedded formatting codes, to PostScript' after the Usage:
 14              > line, so users can know what the program does.
 15             
 16             * The states program should be called gstates if the enscript was
 17               configured with option "--program-prefix=g".
 18             
 19             * Option to include PS stuffs to the enscript.pro.  This allows users
 20               to define an image at the enscript.pro and to use it in the headers,
 21               instead of defining the image at every page.
 22 rizwank 1.1 
 23             * It might be nice if there were a method for which people could
 24               define their own options to genscript which would be aliases for
 25               other commands. Perhaps defined in the enscript.cfg file or the
 26               .enscriptrc file.
 27             
 28               What I mean, is it would be nice to be able to define an alias for
 29               something like:
 30             
 31                            UserOption: tray1 -DMediaPosition:1
 32             
 33               perhaps: -otray1
 34             
 35             * New option to to process its argument as if it was read from the
 36               configuration file.
 37             
 38             * It would be nice if the AFM directory could be located using an
 39               environment variable.

 41             * Bugs

 43 rizwank 1.1 ** Automake
 44             
 45                	First, you need to update to the latest copies of ansi2knr.[c1]
 46             from automake-1.3 and put them in the afmlib and src directories.
 47             
 48             	Second, I believe there is a bug in automake-1.3 and the
 49             following untested patch to automake-1.3 *might* fix it.  Essentially,
 50             automake generates Makefiles which do:

123             
124                  -Sfeature=value
125                       chooses a printer feature, such as manual feed or duplex. If value is
126                       omitted, a value of true is assumed. These features must match a
127 rizwank 1.1           keyword in the Printer Description file. For example, "enscript -S
128                       ManualFeed" turns on manual feed.
129             
130             Other PPD options include:
131             
132                  -ssize
133                       chooses a paper size for printing. This size must match one of the
134                       *PaperSize keywords in the Printer Description file, such as Letter,
135                       Legal, or A4.
136                  -Pprinter
137                       causes the output to be sent to the named printer unless -pfile is
138                       specified. In that case, the printer name is used to access the
139                       printer's Printer Description file for information, and the output is
140                       written to the specified file instead of being spooled for printing.
141             
142                   -ddest
143                       causes the output to be sent to the named printer or printer class
144                       unless -pfile is specified. In that case, the printer name is used to
145                       access the printer's Printer Description file for information, and
146                       the output is written to the specified file instead of being spooled
147                       for printing.
