DAPS(1)                                                   DAPS(1)



     NAME
          daps - postprocessor for the Autologic APS-5 phototypesetter

     SYNOPSIS
          daps [ options ] ... [ -- ] [ file ] ...

     DESCRIPTION
          daps prints files created by troff(1) on an Autologic APS-5
          phototypesetter.  If you do not specify a file, the standard
          input is printed.  daps understands the following options:

          -b   reports whether the typesetter is busy; does not print
               output

          -h string
               prints string in this job's header.  The header appears
               on a page preceding the output.

          -o list
               prints pages whose numbers are given in a list.
               containing single numbers N, or ranges N1-N2.  A
               missing N1 means the lowest-numbered page, a missing N2
               means the highest.

          -r   reports the number of 11-inch pages generated by this
               job.  Use this option only after you have checked with
               the typesetter operations staff.

          -s n stops after every n pages of output.  daps continues
               when you push the PROCEED button on the typesetter.

          -t   directs output to the standard output instead of the
               typesetter.

          -w   waits for typesetter to become free, then prints
               output.

          The files that you submit to daps should be prepared under
          the -Taps option of troff(1).

     BUGS
          Installations with an Autologic APS-5 phototypesetter should
          be aware that getting a good match to their Autologic fonts
          will almost certainly require hand-tuning of the font
          description files (see FILES above).
