14 
into PostScript and writes the results on the
15 
standard output.
16 
If no
17 
.I files
18 
are specified, or if
19 
.OP \-
20 
is one of the input
21 
.IR files ,
22 
the standard input is read.
23 
The following
24 
.I options
25 
are understood:
26 
.TP 0.75i

Print
35 
.I files

obtained with constant width fonts.
41 
The default font is Courier.
42 
.TP
43 
.OP \-h num
44 
Set the initial horizontal motion index to
45

49 
option is used.
50 
The default is 12.
51 
.TP
52 
.OP \-m num
53

each page.
58 
The default magnification is 1.0.

.TP
60 
.OP \-n num

70 
.TP
71 
.OP \-o list
72 
Print pages whose numbers are given in the comma-separated
73 
.IR list .

75 
.I N
76 
and ranges
77 
.IR N1\-\|N2 .
78 
A missing
79 
.I N1
80

99 
.I num
100 
is 1 a line feed generates a carriage return.
101 
If
102 
.I num
103 
is 2 a carriage return generates a line feed.
104 
Setting
105 
.I num
106 
to 3 enables both modes.
107 
.TP
108 
.OP \-s num

Copy
165 
.I file
166

.TP
170 
.OP \-P string

177 
.OP \-R action
178 
Requests special

The
184 
.I action
185 
string can be given as
186 
.IR request ,
187 
.IM request : page\f1\|,
188 
or
189 
.IM request : page : file\f1\|.

If
191 
.I page
192 
is omitted or given as 0, the request
193 
applies to all pages.
194 
If
195 
.I file
196 
is omitted, the request
197 
lookup is done in
198 
.MR \*(dQ/ps.requests .
199
