Annotation of researchv10no/cmd/post.src/NOTES, revision 1.1.1.1

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:
