No.

The above sounds like a text vs. binary mode problem. Does a2ps.cfg have
CRNL line endings? If so, then convert it and the other configuration
files to binary mode (i.e., NL line endings). Otherwise, complete the
port so that a2ps can tolerate text mode configuration files. Please
search the mailing list archives for the various way to accomplish this.
Thanks,
Jason
