   NAME
         postdaisy - PostScript translator for Diablo 630 files

   SYNOPSIS
         postdaisy [options] [files]

   DESCRIPTION
         The postdaisy filter translates Diablo 630 daisy-wheel files into
         PostScript and writes the results on the standard output.  If no
         files are specified, or if - is one of the input files, the standard
         input is read.  The following options are understood:

         -c num    Print num copies of each page.  By default only one copy is
                   printed.

         -f name   Print files using font name.  Any PostScript font can be
                   used, although the best results will be obtained only with
                   constant-width fonts.  The default font is Courier.

         -h num    Set the initial horizontal motion index to num.  Determines
                   the character advance and the default point size, unless
                   the -s option is used.  The default is 12.

         -m num    Magnify each logical page by the factor num.  Pages are
                   scaled uniformly about the origin, which is located near
                   the upper left corner of each page.  The default
                   magnification is 1.0.

         -n num    Print num logical pages on each piece of paper, where num
                   can be any positive integer.  By default, num is set to 1.

         -o list   Print pages whose numbers are given in the comma-separated
                   list.  The list contains single numbers N and ranges N1 -
                   N2.  A missing N1 means the lowest numbered page, a missing
                   N2 means the highest.

         -p mode   Print files in either portrait or landscape mode.  Only the
                   first character of mode is significant.  The default mode
                   is portrait.

         -r num    Selects carriage return and line feed behavior.  If num is
                   1, a line feed generates a carriage return.  If num is 2, a
                   carriage return generates a line feed.  Setting num to 3
                   enables both modes.

         -s num    Use point size num instead of the default value set by the
                   initial horizontal motion index.

         -v num    Set the initial vertical motion index to num.  The default
                   is 8.

         -x num    Translate the origin num inches along the positive x axis.
                   The default coordinate system has the origin fixed near the
                   upper left corner of the page, with positive x to the right
                   and positive y down the page.  Positive num moves
                   everything right.  The default offset is 0.25 inches.

         -y num    Translate the origin num inches along the positive y axis.
                   Positive num moves text up the page.  The default offset is
                   -0.25 inches.

   DIAGNOSTICS
         An exit status of 0 is returned if files were successfully processed.
