The Pps fancy printer for PostScript devices which has just been posted in comp.sources.unix (Volume 17, Issue 80; Archive-name: pps). Pps handles C, awk, sh, lisp, mail, PostScript and English; adding more languages is simple. Pps is almost as fast as plain text-to-PostScript filters, so some people here use it daily for source-code listing. Most of the work is done by the printer: Unix just separates the input into tokens, using different lex(1) programs for each language. Slide does the same, but ``expands'' the output to fit over a full page. This is useful for making overhead projection transparencies. Both pps and slide run on Sun, Vax, Gould, CCI, RT and other BSD machines; they used to cope with SVR2, but that was a long time ago. On (a guest of uunet!rlgvax!smadi) Paradise
