NAME
     postdaisy - PostScript translator for Diablo 630 files

SYNOPSIS
     postdaisy [options] [files]

DESCRIPTION
     The postdaisy filter translates Diablo 630 daisy-wheel files
     into PostScript and writes the results on the standard out-
     put.  If no files are specified, or if - is one of the input
     files, the standard input is read.  The following options
     are understood:

     c num     Print num copies of each page.  By default only
               one copy is printed.

     f name    Print files using font name. Any PostScript font
               can be used, although the best results will be
               obtained only with constant-width fonts.  The
               default font is Courier.

     h num     Set the initial horizontal motion index to num.
               Determines the character advance and the default
               point size, unless the s option is used.  The
               default is 12.

     m num     Magnify each logical page by the factor num.
               Pages are scaled uniformly about the origin, which
               is located near the upper left corner of each
               page.  The default magnification is 1.0.

     n num     Print num logical pages on each piece of paper,
               where num can be any positive integer.  By
               default, num is set to 1.

     o list    Print pages whose numbers are given in the comma-
               separated list.  The list contains single numbers
               N and ranges N1 - N2.  A missing N1 indicates the
               lowest numbered page, a missing N2 indicates the
               highest.

     p mode    Print files in either portrait or landscape mode.
               Only the first character of mode is significant.
               The default mode is portrait.

     r num     Selects carriage return and line feed behavior.
               If num is 1, a line feed generates a carriage
               return.  If num is 2, a carriage return generates
               a line feed.  Setting num to 3 enables both modes.

     s num     Use point size num instead of the default value
               set by the initial horizontal motion index.

     v num     Set the initial vertical motion index to num.  The
               default is 8.

     x num     Translate the origin num inches along the positive
               x axis.  The default coordinate system has the
               origin fixed near the upper left corner of the
               page, with positive x to the right and positive y
               down the page.  Positive num moves everything
               right.  The default offset is 0.25 inches.

     y num     Translate the origin num inches along the positive
               y axis.  Positive num moves text up the page.  The
               default offset is -0.25 inches.

DIAGNOSTICS

     processed.
