Why go with an unsupported, outdated version of G-Windows?? It goes against the very reasons most of us want to get the port... so we can develop mainstream graphical applications.

Lout is overkill to dump a simple, purely ASCII text file to a printer using Postscript. Here is a program I wrote to do this. To create a Postscript program to print an ASCII text file named foo.bar, you need to merge this Postscript program with the data file and tack on a CNTL/D at the end. Like this: $ merge pstext.ps foo.bar >foo.bar.ps $ display 4 >+foo.bar.ps You can then print the Postscript file foo.bar.ps with Ghostscript. This is also overkill, IMHO, since surely the printer you are using can accept the pure ASCII text file on its own, right? More? Anyway, you can also print this file to a Postcript printer by doing a: $ merge foo.bar.ps >/p This Postcript program shades the paper with a technique that makes the paper look like "green bar" paper. This shading may not look so good on a dot matrix printer. In which case, search`tarough the program for the comment on how to disable the green bar printing and follow the directions.
