* Defaults.py.in => strip the `.in' before the highlight rule detection.
* Fix config file parsing so that it is possible to set the value to
an empty string. For example, on HP-UX 9.x/10.x there are no
NoJobHeaderSwitch, so the users might want to set:
NoJobHeaderSwitch:
*
> - The --help string should say something like `Convert plain text,
> possibly with embedded formatting codes, to PostScript' after the Usage:
> line, so users can know what the program does.
* The states program should be called gstates if the enscript was
configured with option "--program-prefix=g".
* Option to include PS stuffs to the enscript.pro. This allows users
to define an image at the enscript.pro and to use it in the headers,
instead of defining the image at every page.
* It might be nice if there were a method for which people could
define their own options to genscript which would be aliases for
other commands. Perhaps defined in the enscript.cfg file or the
.enscriptrc file.
What I mean, is it would be nice to be able to define an alias for
something like:
UserOption: tray1 -DMediaPosition:1
perhaps: -otray1
* New option to to process its argument as if it was read from the
configuration file.
* It would be nice if the AFM directory could be located using an
environment variable.
* Bugs
** Automake
First, you need to update to the latest copies of ansi2knr.[c1]
from automake-1.3 and put them in the afmlib and src directories.
Second, I believe there is a bug in automake-1.3 and the
following untested patch to automake-1.3 *might* fix it. Essentially,
automake generates Makefiles which do:

** Misc
- configure.in: add check for gethostname() function and if not
found, use the version found from compat subdirectory.
- strftime() on SCO, need to add AC_FUNC_STRFTIME to configure.in
- -lc on SCO:

* High priority
- Kanji support
- Unicode support
* Low priority
- convert escape chars to escape strings: \%font{Courier5}
- allow some options for the pass-through files: -a, -D, -S, -1, -2, -r
- read AFM and .pf{a,b} files from the stdouts of the named commands
- ^@epsf{}: options to rotate the image.
- -r, --landscape, check if the page is rotated to the correct
direction
- --tocfont to set the font which is used for table of contents
(TOCFont)
- right justify the end of lines that are wrapped so that it's easy
to find out which lines have been wrapped
- specify the font size by giving the number of characters per line
or lines per page
- specify the margins used and in particular being able to swap left
and right margin to print on double sided printers while keeping a
margin on the left of the sheet to make holes
- support for PPD files
- make options compatible with the latest version of Adobe enscript
- options:
- --characters-per-line
- -#, --page-numbers
print page numbers to every page, even in the --no-header mode.
- input encodings:
- IBM ebdic
* PPD information
Transcript V4.x:
-Sfeature=value
chooses a printer feature, such as manual feed or duplex. If value is
omitted, a value of true is assumed. These features must match a
keyword in the Printer Description file. For example, "enscript -S
ManualFeed" turns on manual feed.
Other PPD options include:
-ssize
chooses a paper size for printing. This size must match one of the
*PaperSize keywords in the Printer Description file, such as Letter,
Legal, or A4.
-Pprinter
causes the output to be sent to the named printer unless -pfile is
specified. In that case, the printer name is used to access the
printer's Printer Description file for information, and the output is
written to the specified file instead of being spooled for printing.
-ddest
causes the output to be sent to the named printer or printer class
unless -pfile is specified. In that case, the printer name is used to
access the printer's Printer Description file for information, and
the output is written to the specified file instead of being spooled
for printing.
