Hi,
I tried a command such as
~/wrk 0> a2ps -1 -o smm-contents.ps -L 66 /usr/share/doc/smm/contents.ascii.gz
[/usr/share/doc/smm/contents.ascii.gz (gzip, delegated to gzip-a2ps):
4 pages on 4 sheets]
[Total: 4 pages on 4 sheets] saved into the file `smm-contents.ps'
But it does not make the pages 66 lines per page.
If I zcat the file to a2ps it does work as expected:
zcat /usr/share/doc/smm/contents.ascii.gz | a2ps -1 -o contentes-zcat.ps -L 66
[stdin (plain): 3 pages on 3 sheets]
[Total: 3 pages on 3 sheets] saved into the file `contentes-zcat.ps'
I looked in the a2ps.cfg to try to fix it myself but I'm unfamiliar
with the syntax under the line where the variable del.a2ps is defined.
BTW, I find a2ps very useful, thanks for making it.
Jim
