DESCRIPTION
     The postdaisy filter translates Diablo 630 daisy-wheel files
     into  PostScript and writes the results on the standard out-
     put. If no files are specified, or if - is one of the  input
     files, the standard input is read.

OPTIONS
     -c num     Print num copies of each page.  By  default  only
                one copy is printed.


     -f name    Print files using font name. Any PostScript  font
                can  be  used,  although the best results will be
                obtained  only  with  constant-width  fonts.  The
                default font is Courier.


     -h num     Set the initial horizontal motion index  to  num.
                Determines  the character advance and the default
                point size, unless the -s  option  is  used.  The
                default is  12.


     -m num     Magnify each logical  page  by  the  factor  num.
                Pages  are  scaled  uniformly  about  the origin,
                which is located near the upper  left  corner  of
                each page. The default magnification is  1.0.


     -n num     Print num logical pages on each piece  of  paper,
                where   num  can  be  any  positive  integer.  By
                default, num is set to  1.


     -o list    Print  pages  whose  numbers  are  given  in  the
                comma-separated  list.  The  list contains single
                numbers N and ranges N1 - N2. A missing N1  means
                the  lowest numbered page, a missing N2 means the
                highest. The  page  range  is  an  expression  of

                logical  pages  rather  than  physical  sheets of
                paper. For example, if you are printing two logi-
                cal  pages  to a sheet, and you specified a range
                of 4, then two sheets of paper would print,  con-
                taining  four  page  layouts.  If you specified a
                page range of 3-4, when  requesting  two  logical
                pages  to  a  sheet;  then only page 3 and page 4
                layouts would print, and they would appear on one
                physical sheet of paper.


     -p mode    Print files in either portrait or landscape mode.
                Only  the first character of mode is significant.
                The default mode is portrait.


     -r num     Selects carriage return and line  feed  behavior.
                If  num  is  1,  a line feed generates a carriage
                return. If num is 2, a carriage return  generates
                a line feed. Setting num to 3 enables both modes.


     -s num     Use point size num instead of the  default  value
                set by the initial horizontal motion index.


     -v num     Set the initial vertical motion index to num. The
                default is  8.


     -x num     Translate the origin num inches along  the  posi-
                tive  x  axis.  The default coordinate system has
                the origin fixed near the upper  left  corner  of
                the  page, with positive x to the right and posi-
                tive y down the page. Positive num  moves  every-
                thing right. The default offset is  0.25 inches.


     -y num     Translate the origin num inches along  the  posi-
                tive y axis. Positive num moves text up the page.
                The default offset is  -0.25 inches.


EXIT STATUS
     The following exit values are returned:

     0           Successful completion.


     non-zero    An error occurred.
