This is a port of GNU Enscript 1.6.1 to MSDOS/DJGPP.
The binary and source package can be downloaded
from SimTel.NET and mirrors:
<ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/ens161b.zip>
<ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/ens161s.zip>
- Changes needed for NLS support with DJGPP.
- All other changes are mostly based on the previous port
(ens150x.zip) done by Eli Zaretskii.
There are no new DJGPP *specific* user *visible* changes
except that the binaries will look for the enscript.cfg
file and the AFM font collection at the standard places,
this are:
/dev/env/DJDIR/etc for enscript.cfg and
/dev/env/DJDIR/share/enscript for the AFM fonts.
This is a little bit different from the way the previous port
port worked. If you are familiar with the previuos version,
you should not have any difficulties using this version.
All changes I have done against the original GNU distribution
are documented in the diffs file stored in the djgpp subdir
of the source package.
- It is highly recommended to deinstall the old port (ens150b.zip)
*BEFORE* installing this new one. This package will install the
configuration file: enscript.cfg into the etc dir and the collection
of AFM fonts into the share/enscript dir. The author of GNU enscript
has completely changed the AFM fonts names (plain DOS clean) and
this implies that the new files will *NOT* overwrite the old ones
when the binary package is installed. To avoid having a lot of
useless AFM files in share/enscript and a wrong enscript.cfg file
in share/enscript, it is *HIGHLY* recommended to deinstall the old
enscript package before installing the new one running the command:
rm -vf @manifest\ens150b.mft
Send enscript specific bug reports directely to Markku Rossi
at <mtr AT iki DOT fi>.
Send suggestions and bug reports concerning the DJGPP port to

Enjoy.
