-.SH DESCRIPTION
-These programs convert files of various formats into
-PostScript.
-The input formats are
-.nr xx \w'\fL-p\ \fImode\ 'u
-.TP \n(xxu
-.I dpost
-.IR troff (1)
-output
-.TP
-.I postdaisy
-Diablo 1640 daisy-wheel
-.TP
-.I postdmd
-.IR bitfile (9.5)
-files, as produced by
-.IR blitblt (9.1)
-.TP
-.I postprint
-.SM
-ASCII
-text
-.TP
-.I posttek
-Tektronix 4014 graphics
-.PP
-Except as noted,
-the options are common to all the programs:
-.TP \n(xxu
-.BI \-c num
-Print
-.I num
-copies of each page.
-By default only one copy is printed.
-.TP
-.BI \-m num
-Magnify each logical page by the factor
-.I num.
-Pages are scaled uniformly about the origin,
-located near the upper left corner of
-the page.
-The default magnification is 1.0.
-.TP
-.BI \-n num
-Print
-.I num
-logical pages on each piece of paper.
-The default is 1.
-.TP
-.BI \-o list
-Print only pages specified in
-the comma-separated
-.I list
-of numbers and ranges.
-A range
-.IB N - M
-means pages
-.I N
-through
-.IR M ;
-an initial
-.BI - N
-means
-from the beginning to page
-.IR N ;
-and a final
-.IB N -
-means
-from
-.I N
-to the end.
-Print only pages whose numbers are given in the comma-separated
-.IR list .
-The list contains single numbers
-.I N
-and ranges
-.IB N1 \- N2.
-A missing
-.I N1
-means the lowest numbered page, a missing
-.I N2
-means the highest.
-.TP
-.BI \-p mode
-Print
-in
-.I mode
-.B p
-(portrait)
-or
-.B l
-(landscape).
-The default is
-.BR p .
-.TP
-.BI \-x num
-Translate the origin
-.I num
-inches along the positive x axis.
-By default,
-the origin is
-fixed near the
-upper left corner of the page, with positive
-x to the right and positive y down the page.
-Positive
-.I num
-moves everything right.
-The default offset is 0 inches.
-.TP
-.BI \-y num
-Translate the origin
-.I num
-inches along the positive y axis.
-Positive
-.I num
-moves text down the page.
-The default offset is 0.
-.TP
-.BI \-A file
-Append a simple accounting record to
-.I file
-after all input
-.I files
-have been successfully translated.
-By default no accounting data is produced.
-.TP
-.BI \-L file
-Use
-.I file
-as the PostScript prologue.
-.TP
-.BI \-f name
-Print
-.I files
-using font
-.I name.
-Any PostScript font can be used,
-but constant width fonts yield the best results.
-The default font is Courier.
-.RI ( postdaisy,
-.IR postprint,
-and
-.IR posttek
-only)
-.TP
-.BI \-f
-Flip the sense of the bits in
-.I files
-before printing the bitmaps.
-.RI ( postdmd
-only)
-.PP
-In addition, three options allow the insertion of arbitrary PostScript
-at controlled points in the translation process:
-.TP \n(xxu
-.BI \-C file
-Copy
-.I file
-to the output file.
-.I File
-follows the prologue but
-precedes any job initialization commands.
-.I File
-becomes part of the job's global environment
-and must contain legitimate PostScript commands.
-.TP
-.BI \-P string
-Like
-.BR -C ,
-using a
-.I string
-instead of the contents of a file.
-.TP
-.BI \-R action
-Requests special
-.I action
-(e.g. manualfeed) on a per page or global basis.
-The
-.I action
-string has the general form
-.IB request : page : file,
-from which
-.BI : page : file
-or
-.B : file
-can be omitted.
-An omitted or 0 page number
-applies to all pages.
-If file is omitted the request
-lookup is done in
-.FR /usr/lib/postscript/ps.requests .
-The collection of recognized requests can be modified or extended
-by changing this file.
-Multiple occurrences of the
-.B \-R
-option behave as expected.

-.SH DIAGNOSTICS
-Exit status 2
-usually means a syntax error in some input file.
-.SH BUGS
-Output files
-will often violate Adobe's
-file structuring conventions.
-Pipe the output of
-.I dpost
-through
-.I postreverse
-to produce a minimally conforming PostScript file.
-.PP
-Although
-.I dpost
-can handle files formatted for any
-.IR troff
-device, emulation is expensive and
-can easily double the print time and the size of the output file.
-.PP
-No attempt has been made to implement the character sets
-or fonts available on all devices supported by
-.I troff.
-Missing characters are replaced by white space;
-unrecognized fonts are replaced by one of the Times fonts.
-.PP
-.I Dpost
-requires an
-.B x res
-command before the first
-.B x init
-and any file data.
