README for nenscript version 1.12
Craig Southeren 20-August-1992
---------------------------------

This directory contains the sources for nenscript, a clone of the
proprietary enscript program from Adobe Systems. For those who have
never used enscript, it is a good ASCII to Postscript converter.

nenscript was written by me over a period of several months whilst
I was working at Computer Sciences of Australia as a contractor.
As a regular net-watcher, I saw that several people had (over the
years) asked for a public domain version of enscript. Seeing as I
had got tons of useful stuff off the net, I though this looked like
a good opportunity to pay back the net community. So I convinced
my manager that this would be a Good Thing.
[rest deleted]

nenscript compiled easily for MSDOS and OS/2 using MSC 6.0a. I cannot
find an e-mail address for Southeren.
