NAME

any2ps − Converts a file to mule internal code and then to PostScript format

SYNOPSIS

any2ps [-in coding_system] [m2ps_flags] < infile > outfile

FLAGS

-in coding_system
Specifies the coding system (in the input file) that needs to be converted to mule ∗internal∗ code. By default, the input file is assumed to be in mule ∗internal∗ code, which means that code conversion is not done. 

m2ps_flags
Specifies one or more flags passed by any2ps to the m2ps program.  Refer to m2ps(1) for a description of these flags. 

PARAMETERS

infileSpecifies the input file to be converted to ∗internal∗ code. 

outfileSpecifies the output PostScript file. 

DESCRIPTION

The any2ps command is an alternative to running the coco and m2ps programs separately.  Like the programs that it invokes, any2ps is derived from software supplied by the Free Software Foundation. 

The any2ps program performs the following operations:

     1.Invokes coco to convert the input file from the specified coding system to Mule internal code (called ∗internal∗ code)

     2.Passes the converted result, along with the specified m2ps flags, to m2ps for processing

The m2ps program then generates the PostScript program file to be printed.
