Well, I like eroff, and have found the man set very good untill now, but
I am stumped. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Ok, I have a standard text file written with the mm macros, pic, and tbl
sections. Now, I would like to include a postscript segment at the TOP
of my file, and then send the entire thing through eroff to a postscript
printer. Although this is not important, my command line will look
something like this:
tbl file | pic -D | eroff -mm -dps
The man on page 2-13 says that I have to append
the \X'code="postscriptline"' stuff to EACH line in my postscript file
that I want to include in my troff file (up to 80 chars per line max).
This is NOT acceptable, as I do not wish to have to modify EACH and
EVERY line of my postscript include file.
IS THERE ANY EASIER WAY TO DO THIS????
Can I add my postscript file into header file (must be there for eroff
somewhere) that eroff (must?) send to the postscript printer with
the -dps command? And if this is possible, is there someway to
specify via command line option which header file to use?
