It may be automatically mirrored from there to other Internet sites. If you don't have lptops installed (available in the same archive as psposter), you can create an empty afmfonts.map file, and put it in a directory pointed to by the AFMPATH environment variable. lptops is very handy, and its installation will supply you with some additional fonts for psposter. The files in the psposter distribution consist of: CHANGELOG Reverse time-ordered log of changes to psposter. README This file. Makefile UNIX Makefile for installing and uninstalling psposter. TODO Record of things to do in future versions. bb.ps PostScript file to prepend to an EPS file for determining the bounding box. This comes from Tom Rokicki's dvips 5.528 distribution, available on labrea.stanford.edu, and the CTAN (Comprehensive TeX Archive Network) archives (do "finger ctan@pip.shsu.edu" for a list of CTAN sites). fontlist.ps PostScript file for listing the resident fonts on a PostScript output device, in alphabetical order. fontlsim.ps Simple version of fontlist.ps, without sorting; this is the file illustrated in the man pages. fontlold.ps PostScript file for listing the resident fonts on a PostScript output device; uses Level 1 PostScript, but Adobe documentation says that the technique is unreliable. fontshow.ps PostScript file for listing and illustrating the resident fonts in alphabetical order on a PostScript output device. man2ps UNIX shell script for converting UNIX manual pages to PostScript. psposter.awk The program. psposter.hlp VAX VMS HELP file for psposter.man. psposter.man UNIX manual pages documenting psposter. psposter.txt ASCII formatted nroff output from psposter.man. psposter.ps PostScript typeset output from psposter.man. psposter.sh Pre-installation script for running psposter. rofvms.awk Program for converting nroff manual page output to VAX VMS HELP file format.
