Creating Postscript Files on Vax Computers

摘要

Digital Standard Runoff is a utility provided by DEC for use on VAX computers.This utility creates formatted ascii text files of various simple lay-outs. However, it does not generate PostScript files or permit the inclusion of figures or algebraic expressions and equations. The present report describes a program which will permit the extension of RUNOFF to include these features. It also includes subroutines for the generation of PostScript graphic files, which can be included in the text files.
