+Description
+===========
+
+GNU a2ps is an Any to PostScript filter.  Of course it processes plain
+text files, but also pretty prints quite a few popular languages.
+
+Its slogan is precisely `` Do The Right Thing '', which means that
+though it is highly configurable, everything was made so that a novice
+user can do complicated PostScript manipulations.  For instance, it
+has the ability to delegate the processing of some files to other
+filters (such as groff, texi2dvi, dvips, gzip etc.), what allows a
+uniform treatment (n-up, page selection, duplex etc.) of heterogeneous
+files.
+
+As an example:
+
+| $ a2ps mill.1.ps.gz a2ps.gif NEWS a2ps.texi index.html -o demo.ps
+| [mill.1.ps.gz (compressed, delegated to Gzip-a2ps): 17 pages on 9 sheets]
+| [a2ps.gif (gif, delegated to ImageMagick): 3 pages on 2 sheets]
+| [NEWS (plain): 12 pages on 6 sheets]
+| [a2ps.texi (texinfo, delegated to texi2dvi): 89 pages on 45 sheets]
+| [index.html (html, delegated to Netscape): 13 pages on 7 sheets]
+| [Total: 132 pages on 66 sheets] saved into the file `demo.ps'
+
+Want to print a LaTeX file in Duplex?
+
+| $ a2ps paper.tex -s2 -P margot
+| [paper.tex (tex, delegated to texi2dvi): 33 pages on 9 sheets]
+| request id is margot-129 (standard input)
+| [Total: 34 pages on 9 sheets] sent to the printer `margot'
+
+(Bibtex, makeindex, and latex were run as many times as needed.)
+
+Or maybe you want to print the documentation as a booklet?
+
+| $ a2ps -P margot -=book doc/a2ps.texi
+| [doc/a2ps.texi (texinfo, delegated to texi2dvi): 109 pages on 109 sheets]
+| request id is margot-128 (standard input)
+| [Total: 109 pages on 109 sheets] sent to the printer `margot'
+
+It supports a wide number of encodings, and a very good handling of
+Latin 2-6 should be noted, thanks to Ogonkify (by Juliusz Chroboczek
+<jec@dcs.ed.ac.uk>).  Needed fonts are automatically downloaded.  The
+interface is internationalized, the output is customizable and there
+are as many options as users had wishes (table of content, headings,
+virtual page layout etc. etc.).
+
+The documentation has been carefully crafted for both novices and
+experts.  It is meant to bring light on most questions you have, and
+includes a glossary.
+
+Contributions
+=============
+
+Some goodies are provided in the package:
+ - card     pretty prints `--help' from programs
+ - fixnt    fixes Windows NT PostScript files (thanks to Holger Bauer)
+ - fixps    fixes most common problems in PostScript files
+ - pdiff    prints a comparison between two files
+ - psmandup eases Duplex printing on Simplex printers
+ - psset    inserts special PostScript requests (ManualFeed etc.)
+
+The full distribution of Ogonkify, by Juliusz Chroboczek, is also
+included.  Ogonkify let's you fix deficient Latin 2-6 support in
+popular applications' PostScript (Netscape, StarOffice...).
