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

1.1       root        1: 
                      2: DMD bitmap to PostScript translator. Much of the code came from abm,
                      3: which was written by Guy Riddle.
                      4: 
                      5: By default 6 byte patterns are used to encode the output bitmap. Use
                      6: the -b option to change the pattern size. Bitmaps are unpacked one
                      7: scanline at a time and re-encoded in a format that looks like,
                      8: 
                      9:        bytes patterns count
                     10: 
                     11: where bytes and count are decimal integers and patterns is a series
                     12: of hex digits. Bytes is the number of bytes represented by the hex
                     13: pattern, and count is the number of additional times the pattern
                     14: should be repeated. For example,
                     15: 
                     16:        2 FFFF 4
                     17:        5 FFFFFFFFFF 1
                     18:        10 FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF 0
                     19: 
                     20: all represent 10 consecutive bytes of ones. Scanlines are terminated
                     21: by a 0 on a line by itself.
                     22:
