Stuff appears to work, but it's obviously not well tested. I fully
2
expect several iterations before things are correct!! Make sure you
3
can back this out quickly.

This code supports UTF encoding. Directory dpost.utf is a version that
6
reads UTF encoded files. Directory dpost is DWB 3.3 source and should be
7
close to what you're currently using. Main source code changes were in
8
dpost.utf (files font.h, font.c, and dpost.c). Select either dpost or
9
dpost.utf in TARGETS in postscript.mk. Both build and install a program
10
called dpost!!
11
 
12
dpost.utf is more general and includes code that lets it read either
13
format. Only catch is troff must tell it (with x E UTF) that the file
14
is UTF and troff currently doesn't output encoding info, so you're
15
stuck with two post-processors!
16
 
17
Added common/rune.h and common/rune.c so code can be compiled elsewere.
18
Both files are only used by dpost. Remove RUNELIB in commmon/rune.h if
19
fullrune(), chartorune(), and runetochar() are available on your system.
20
You will also need to set READING in common/gen.h. It controls how dpost
21
(from dpost.utf) reads troff output. It should be UTFENCODING on Plan 9
22
and ONEBYTE elsewhere. If troff includes encoding hint (x E UTF) then
23
READING selects the default which sould be ONEBYTE.
24
 
25
Leave WRITING (in common/gen.h) set to ONEBYTE. It only controls dpost
26
output and dpost (right now) does not work 100% with UTF.enc. Fix should
27
be easy, but I don't have time now.
28
 
29
Other translators passed bytes through so only needed slightly modified
30
proglogues and a new encoding scheme (psencoding/UTF.enc). It works for
31
Latin1, but still needs a bit more attention. Prologue changes were easy
32
and only involved adding lines like,
33
 
34
	/show {show} bind def
35
	/stringwidth {stringwidth} bind def
36
 
37
Guarantees text procedures used in prologues aren't operators and can be
38
successfully redefined in UTF.enc. Unbinding means a small but probably
39
not noticeable speed penalty. You may not want to include those changes
40
on other system.

Tuning The Makefile
50
-------------------
51
 
52
Source files, man pages, and low level makefiles can all be updated
53
to reflect settings in postscript.mk in one simple step (described
54
later). In most cases you only need to edit file postscript.mk.
55
 
56
First save a copy of file postscript.mk. Then adjust the following
57
definitions in file postscript.mk:
58
 
59
  SYSTEM    best match for your version of Unix. Current choices for
60
	    SYSTEM are:
61
 
62
			SYSV	- System V
63
			V9	- Ninth Edition
64
			BSD4_2	- Berkeley (eg. Sun)
65
 
66
	    Controls conditional compilation in a few places.
67
 
68
  GROUP	    group assigned to all installed files
69
 
70
  OWNER	    owner of everything that's installed
71
 
72
  BINDIR    dpost and picpack go here. All other programs go in POSTBIN.
73
	    BINDIR must already exist - it will not be created during an
74
	    install.
75
 
76
  HOSTDIR   hostresident font directory for PostScript printers. Only
77
	    used in the font download program.
78
 
79
  FONTDIR   width table directory - for troff and most postprocessors
80
 
81
  MAN1DIR   command manpages. A command and its manpage are installed
82
	    together - there's no easy way to avoid it. Setting MAN1DIR
83
	    to an existing temporary directory (e.g. /tmp) means an
84
	    install will work but manpages won't go anywhere permanent.
85
	    MAN1DIR must already exist - it will not be created during
86
	    an install.
87
 
88
  POSTBIN   where most PostScript support programs go. dpost and picpack
89
	    the exceptions.
90
 
91
  POSTLIB   prologues and miscellaneous PostScript files. Primarily for
92
	    the programs that live in POSTBIN.
93
 
94
  CFLGS	    common compiler options - used to build CFLAGS in the low
95
	    level makefiles. CLFGS and LDFLGS are best set on the make
96
	    command line.
97
 
98
  LDFLGS    common link editor options - used to build LDFLAGS in the
99
	    low level makefiles. LDFLGS and CFLGS are best set on the
100
	    make command line.
101
 
102
  DKHOST    set it to TRUE to compile the DKHOST Datakit support code
103
	    in postio. Temporarily resets SYSTEM to SYSV if DKHOST is
104
	    TRUE and SYSTEM is BSD4_2. Ignored if SYSTEM is not SYSV
105
	    or BSD4_2.
106
 
107
  DKSTREAMS enables streams based DKHOST support in postio when DKHOST
108
	    is TRUE and SYSTEM is SYSV or BSD4_2. Choices are TRUE,
109
	    FALSE, or a stream module name (e.g. dknetty or dkty). TRUE
110
	    selects dknetty. Newer systems may expect dkty.
111
 
112
  ROUNDPAGE must only be set to TRUE or FALSE. TRUE means PostScript
113
	    translators include code that maps clipping path dimensions
114
	    into known paper sizes.
115
 
116
  TARGETS   the default list of what's built by make. Each target must
117
	    be the name of a source directory. A target that names a
118
	    non-existent source directory is ignored. Setting TARGETS
119
	    on the make command line overrides the default list.
120
 
121
-------------------
122
Updating The Source
123
-------------------
124
 
125
Whenever file postscript.mk changes you should update source files,
126
man pages, and low level makefiles by typing,
127
 
128
	make -f postscript.mk changes
129
 
130
------------------------
131
More System Dependencies
132
------------------------
133
 
134
The package has been compiled and tested on System V and Ninth Edition
135
Unix Systems and on Sun workstations. Most differences are handled via
136
the SYSTEM definition in postscript.mk. Problems that remain are:
137
 
138
  SYSV - System V
139
    Use the native compiler if you're on an internal System V UTS
140
    machine.
141
 
142
  V9 - Ninth or Tenth Edition
143
    chown is in /etc and chgrp no longer exists - it's been folded into
144
    the chown command. You may be forced to build a simple chgrp shell
145
    script (put it in your bin) that calls chown. If you're not superuser
146
    set OWNER to your login name and GROUP to your group id.
147
 
148
  BSD4_2 - Sun Workstations
149
    Use the Bourne shell. chown is should be in /usr/etc. Add /usr/etc
150
    to your PATH and export PATH. If you're not superuser set OWNER to
151
    your login name and GROUP to your group id.

154
Installing The Package
155
----------------------
156
 
157
To build (but not install) the default package (i.e. everything named by
158
TARGETS in postscript.mk) type,
159
 
160
	make -f postscript.mk all
161
 
162
To build and install the package type,
163
 
164
	make -f postscript.mk all install
165
 
166
After the package is installed use,
167
 
168
	make -f postscript.mk clobber
169
 
170
to delete binary files and compiled programs from the source directories.
171
 
172
To select part of the package define TARGETS on the command line. For
173
example,
174
 
175
	make -f postscript.mk TARGETS="dpost devpost" all install
176
 
177
builds and installs dpost and the PostScript font tables. Quotes hide
178
white space from the shell.
