Message-ID: <1990Oct3.053616.4281@sunaus.oz> Date: 3 Oct 90 05:36:16 GMT Organization: Sun Microsystems - Australia Lines: 599 This is official patch #13 for mp v2.4. CONTENTS: 1. What is mp? 2/ Changes made in this patch. 3/ How to install this patch. 4/ How to get previous patches. ---------------- 1/ What is mp? Mp is a Postscript pretty printer for mail,news and ordinary files. Mp v2.4 was posted to comp.sources.misc about three weeks ago at patchlevel #5. ---------------- 2/ Changes made in this patch. * The other PostScript prologue files need to be modified in a similar way, to mp.pro.ps (changed in patch #12). * The meaning of the -PS switch to mp has been reversed. If you don't specify -PS on the command line, and mp finds a PostScript file as the body of the message, then it will just dump it out. Specifying -PS causes it to be printed as text. * From Larry Virden Further modifications to mailp: - If the user had specified a flag of "-sThis is my subject" then it wouldn't have printed correctly. - If the user tries to print files with tabs or spaces in them there would have been problems. * From Larry Virden Specifying "mp -o -F ! When you do a "make", occurances of BINDIR in the mailp shell script, ! are now replaced with the value of $(BINDIR) from the Makefile. * From Larry Virden Modifications to Makefile.dist --- 427,434 ---- Modified the mailp script to work on SysV which usually has no lpr. * From Bruce Barnett ! When you do a "make install", occurances of BINDIR in the mailp shell ! script, are now replaced with the value of $(BINDIR) from the Makefile. * From Larry Virden Modifications to Makefile.dist *************** *** 449,451 **** --- 449,473 ---- Mp is now case insensitive about mail header lines.
