/*
 * postprint - PostScript translator for ASCII files.
 *
 * A simple program that translates ASCII files into PostScript. All it really
 * does is expand tabs and backspaces, handle character quoting, print text lines,
 * and control when pages are started based on the requested number of lines per
 * page.
 *
 * The PostScript prologue is copied from *prologue before any of the input files
 * are translated. The program expects that the following procedures are defined
 * in that file:
 *
 *	setup
 *
 *	  mark ... setup -
 *
 *	    Handles special initialization stuff that depends on how the program
 *	    was called. Expects to find a mark followed by key/value pairs on the
 *	    stack. The def operator is applied to each pair up to the mark, then
 *	    the default state is set up.
 *
 *	pagesetup
 *
 *	  page pagesetup -
 *
 *	    Does whatever is needed to set things up for the next page. Expects
 *	    to find the current page number on the stack.
 *
 *	l
 *
 *	  string l -
 *
 *	    Prints string starting in the first column and then goes to the next
 *	    line.
 *
 *	L
 *
 *	  mark string column string column ... L mark
 *
 *	    Prints each string on the stack starting at the horizontal position
 *	    selected by column. Used when tabs and spaces can be sufficiently well
 *	    compressed to make the printer overhead worthwhile. Always used when
 *	    we have to back up.
 *
 *	LL
 *
 *	  mark string column string column ... LL mark
 *
 *	    Like L, but only used to prevent potential PostScript stack overflow
 *	    from too many string/column pairs. Stays on the current line. It will
 *	    not be needed often!!
 *
 *	done
 *
 *	  done
 *
 *	    Makes sure the last page is printed. Only needed when we're printing
 *	    more than one page on each sheet of paper.
 *
 * Almost everything has been changed in this version of postprint. The program
 * is more intelligent, especially about tabs, spaces, and backspacing, and as a
 * result output files usually print faster. Output files also now conform to
 * Adobe's file structuring conventions, which is undoubtedly something I should
 * have done in the first version of the program. If the number of lines per page
 * is set to 0, which can be done using the -l option, pointsize will be used to
 * guess a reasonable value. The estimate is based on the values of LINESPP,
 * POINTSIZE, and pointsize, and assumes LINESPP lines would fit on a page if
 * we printed in size POINTSIZE. Selecting a point size using the -s option and
 * adding -l0 to the command line forces the guess to be made.
 *
 * Many default values, like the magnification and orientation, are defined in 
 * the prologue, which is where they belong. If they're changed (by options), an
 * appropriate definition is made after the prologue is added to the output file.
 * The -P option passes arbitrary PostScript through to the output file. Among
 * other things it can be used to set (or change) values that can't be accessed by
 * other options.
