PSIFILE(1) General Commands Manual PSIFILE(1) NAME psifile, mhssend- postscript interpreter/fax sender SYNOPSIS psifile [ option ... ] [ file ] mhssend phone_number file DESCRIPTION Psifile reads Postscript input from file or from standard input and produces a file containing an image of the page. The format of the output file is specified by the following options: -fax runs at 200 dpi and produces g31 fax in the multipage fax format called mhs, putting its output in file fax$$.mhs by default. If a phone number is supplied, the output file is pushed to /tmp on fama and mhssend is run to send the fax. -P phone_no specifies the destination phone number for -fax. -g4 runs at 300 dpi and produces a fax g4 file called psi.out.g4 by default that can be displayed on the gnots with rbits. -bm produces bitfile(9.5) output in file psi.out by default. -bm is useful for debugging postscript programs because it has better diagnostics than the printers. Other options are -s assumes the file is in mhs format and sends it to the phone num- ber provided with -P above. -o name use name as the basename of the output file. -p page only output postscript page number page as determined by %%Page comments in the file. Fonts are implemented with 24 point bitmap fonts. Those available are Symbol, Courier, Times-Roman, Times-Italic, Times-Bold, Times- BoldItalic, Helvetica, Helvetica-Oblique, Helvetica-Bold, Helvetica- BoldOblique. Fonts Courier-Bold, Courier-Oblique, and Courier- BoldOblique are mapped to Courier. Postscript type 1 fonts are imple- mented and work if supplied with the input. For best results with TeX documents, run dvips with the -Tfax or -D 200 option to get fonts of the proper resolution.
