Annotation of researchv10no/cmd/post.src/NOTES, revision 1.1

1.1     ! root        1:  Directory dpost is DWB 3.3 version without UTF changes. dpost.utf is
        !             2:  stuff for Plan 9. Both build and install dpost, so only pick one. The
        !             3:  makefile I sent (postscript.mk) builds dpost.utf.
        !             4: 
        !             5:  Left READING set to ONEBYTE in common/gen.h. Expect dpost errors unless
        !             6:  'x E UTF' is added to troff output or READING set to UTFENCODING. Easy
        !             7:  to make 'x E UTF' anything else too.
        !             8: 
        !             9:  Left RUNELIB defined in common/rune.h so rune.c stuff is used when
        !            10:  dpost.utf is built.
        !            11: 
        !            12:  UTF.enc is in directory psencoding. Install and link to Default.enc on
        !            13:  Plan 9.
        !            14: 
        !            15:  Carmela requested two new characters: \(bs for backslash and \(dq for
        !            16:  double quote. Both are in devLatin1 and devpost tables. Carmela also
        !            17:  asked for a bunch of her devpost accent characters in devLatin1. Added
        !            18:  them to the end of the devLatin1 tables.
        !            19: 
        !            20:  A word of warning about devLatin1. Carmela, Peter and others complained
        !            21:  about - and hyphens being too long in the Latin1 fonts. I used Abode's
        !            22:  choice but nobody liked it. New devLatin1 tables use a smaller character
        !            23:  for hy. Looks better (I guess) but a width change affects line and page
        !            24:  breaks!! Not sure what you want to do. Complaints on this one go to
        !            25:  npn and carmela!!!
        !            26: 
        !            27:  Didn't take your suggested pathname change in download. Didn't want to
        !            28:  risk breaking Unix 4.0 lp. What's there is bogus but was only for Unix
        !            29:  4.0. The -r option accomplishes something similiar but needs a full path.
        !            30: 
        !            31:  postio.mk is very different and not tested on V9.
        !            32:
