========================================================= C2PS 1.30 Copyright (c) 1994-95 Hsueh-I Lu. 8/1 1995 ========================================================= o This README file This README file is generated by C2PS -hb > readme o What is C2PS? A utility to translate a file including Chinese chars (Big5 coded) to a level 2 PostScript file. It uses TrueType fonts so that you can produce the most beautiful Chinese documents with C2PS. o Requirement You need Chinese TrueType fonts to use C2PS. These fonts can be FTPed from ftp.ifcss.org://software/fonts/big5/ms-win. To preview and print the PostScript files, you might need GhostScript which can be FTPed from ftp.cs.wisc.edu. If you don't have FTP access, the author of C2PS will be more than happy to copy them for you. For more information, try C2PS -hr o Usage Suppose MYDOC is a file containing (Big5 coded) Chinese characters. If you try C2PS MYDOC > MYDOC.PS then the PostScript file MYDOC.PS will be generated. For more information, try C2PS C2PS -h o Control Codes C2PS can interprete about two dozens of control codes. Using these control codes, you may change (English/Chinese) fonts, font sizes, font style, graylevel, etc. in the document. The variation is unlimited. There are five sample files included. You may try GEN1 .. GEN6 and take a look at SAMPLE1.ps,.. SAMPLE6.ps. For more information about the available control codes, try C2PS -hc C2PS -hf o Copyright This DEMO version can be freely copied and used. Some Chinese characters, however, will be transfered into RECTANGLEs by this version. This annoying feature will be removed in the REGISTERED version. For more information about registration, try C2PS -hr o Latest DEMO Version The latest C2PS for various platforms can always be found at: 1) DOS: ftp.ifcss.org:/software/dos/print 2) Linux: ftp.ifcss.org:/software/linux/chinese_utils 3) Sparc: ftp.ifcss.org:/software/unix/print o Comment / Suggestion Last but not least, thank you for trying C2PS.
