Annotation of researchv10no/cmd/postscript/postbgi/README, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       root        1: 
                      2: BGI (Basic Graphical Instructions) to PostScript translator. Probably
                      3: not useful outside the Computer Centers. Added code to tie lines to
                      4: device space coordinates. Helps eliminate variations in line widths
                      5: noticeable when users selected a non-zero linewidth with the -w option.
                      6: 
                      7: Much that was omitted from early versions of the program has been
                      8: implemented. What's in place will handle most STARE (black and white)
                      9: and PRISM (color) BGI jobs. PRISM jobs often fill regions with color,
                     10: and need require device specific tuning to get things just right. An
                     11: easy solution is add "-P/prism true def" option to the postbgi command
                     12: line when you translate PRISM jobs.
                     13: 
                     14: A typical command line for STARE jobs would be,
                     15: 
                     16:        postbgi file >file.ps
                     17: 
                     18: while for PRISM jobs use,
                     19: 
                     20:        postbgi -P"/prism true def" file >file.ps
                     21:
