+.SH NAME
+.B postdaisy
+\- PostScript translator for Diablo 630 files
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\*(mBpostdaisy\f1
+.OP "" options []
+.OP "" files []
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B postdaisy
+translates Diablo 630 daisy-wheel
+.I files
+into PostScript and writes the results on the
+standard output.
+If no
+.I files
+are specified, or if
+.OP \-
+is one of the input
+.IR files ,
+the standard input is read.
+The following
+.I options
+are understood:
+.TP 0.75i
+.OP \-c num
+Print
+.I num
+copies of each page.
+By default only one copy is printed.
+.TP
+.OP \-f name
+Print
+.I files
+using font
+.IR name .
+Any PostScript font can be used,
+although the best results will only be
+obtained with constant width fonts.
+The default font is Courier.
+.TP
+.OP \-h num
+Set the initial horizontal motion index to
+.IR num .
+Determines the character advance and the default
+point size, unless the
+.OP \-s
+option is used.
+The default is 12.
+.TP
+.OP \-m num
+Magnify each logical page by the factor
+.IR num .
+Pages are scaled uniformly about the origin,
+which is located near the upper left corner of
+each page.
+The default magnification is 1.0.
+.TP
+.OP \-n num
+Print
+.I num
+logical pages on each piece of paper,
+where
+.I num
+can be any positive integer.
+By default
+.I num
+is set to 1.
+.TP
+.OP \-o list
+Print pages whose numbers are given in the comma-separated
+.IR list .
+The list contains single numbers
+.I N
+and ranges
+.IR N1\-\|N2 .
+A missing
+.I N1
+means the lowest numbered page, a missing
+.I N2
+means the highest.
+.TP
+.OP \-p mode
+Print
+.I files
+in either \*(mBportrait\fP or \*(mBlandscape\fP
+.IR mode .
+Only the first character of
+.I mode
+is significant.
+The default
+.I mode
+is \*(mBportrait\fP.
+.TP
+.OP \-r num
+Selects carriage return and line feed behavior.
+If
+.I num
+is 1 a line feed generates a carriage return.
+If
+.I num
+is 2 a carriage return generates a line feed.
+Setting
+.I num
+to 3 enables both modes.
+.TP
+.OP \-s num
+Use point size
+.I num
+instead of the default value set by the
+initial horizontal motion index.
+.TP
+.OP \-v num
+Set the initial vertical motion index to
+.IR num .
+The default is 8.
+.TP
+.OP \-x num
+Translate the origin
+.I num
+inches along the positive x axis.
+The default
+coordinate system has the origin fixed near the
+upper left corner of the page, with positive
+x to the right and positive y down the page.
+Positive
+.I num
+moves everything right.
+The default offset is 0.25 inches.
+.TP
+.OP \-y num
+Translate the origin
+.I num
+inches along the positive y axis.
+Positive
+.I num
+moves text down the page.
+The default offset is 0.25 inches.
+.TP
+.OP \-E name
+Set the character encoding for text fonts to
+.IR name .
+Requesting
+.I name
+means include file
+.MI \*(dQ/ name .enc \f1.
+A nonexistent encoding file is silently ignored.
+The default selects file
+.MR \*(dQ/Default.enc .
+.TP
+.OP \-L file
+Use
+.I file
+as the PostScript prologue.
+.br
+The default is
+.MR \*(dQ/postdaisy.ps .
+.PP
+Three options allow insertion of arbitrary PostScript
+at controlled points in the translation process:
+.TP 0.75i
+.OP \-C file
+Copy
+.I file
+to the output file;
+.I file
+must contain legitimate PostScript.
+.TP
+.OP \-P string
+Include
+.I string
+in output file;
+.I string
+must be legitimate PostScript.
+.TP
+.OP \-R action
+Requests special
+.I action
+(e.g.,
+.MR manualfeed )
+on a per page or global basis.
+The
+.I action
+string can be given as
+.IR request ,
+.IM request : page\f1\|,
+or
+.IM request : page : file\f1\|.
+If
+.I page
+is omitted or given as 0, the request
+applies to all pages.
+If
+.I file
+is omitted, the request
+lookup is done in
+.MR \*(dQ/ps.requests .
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+A 0 exit status is returned if
+.I files
+were successfully processed.
