[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #58702] emf format no longer works for printing 2

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #58702 (project octave):

Did pstoedit break pipes only on Windows?  Or is this a general problem now?

I tried pstoedit by itself on a Linux command line and got


pstoedit: version 3.70 / DLL interface 108 (built: Aug 29 2017 - release build
- g++ 7.2.0 - 64-bit) : Copyright (C) 1993 - 2014 Wolfgang Glunz
No output format specified (-f option) and format could not be deduced from
suffix of output file since no output file name was given
Usage: "pstoedit -f format inputfile outputfile" or run "pstoedit -help" to
get a complete list available options.


This suggests it really wants an output file, rather than a pipe.  Can you
test whether using the special output filename "-" works to send the output to
stdout which would then make the pipe work again?
