.SH DESCRIPTION
.I ps630 
reads in 
.I files
(Diablo 630\-format print files) and converts them to \*(PS language format 
for printing on a \*(PS printer.  If no
.I files
are specified, the standard input is used.  By default, the \*(PS language 
program is sent to the standard output.
.I ps630 
can convert 
nroff
files generated with the 
.B -Txerox
switch.
Typewheel emulation information may be specified as options.
Font specifications (for bold and regular) are \*(PS font names
(e.g., Times-Roman, Times-Bold, Courier-Bold, Courier-BoldOblique).
10, 12, or 15 characters per inch may be selected.
.sp
The possible options are:
.TP
.BI -f bodyfont
sets the font to be used for normal printing.
The default is Courier.
.TP
.BI -F boldfont
sets the font to be used for boldface.
The default is Courier-Bold.
.TP
.BI -s pitch
selects type size for printing (both the regular and bold fonts are
scaled to this size).
.I Pitch
is in characters per inch and must be 10, 12, or 15.
The default is 12.
.TP
.BI -p file
causes the \*(PS language document to be written to the named file rather than
the standard output.

.SH BUGS
Some applications produce "bold" by double striking a character.
This will not appear as bold when translated into the \*(PS language.  Only
the 
bold produced by issuing the proper Diablo command sequence (escape-O) 
will result in bold characters.
.sp
The output of
.I ps630
cannot be page-reversed.
.sp
Times-Roman and Helvetica are narrow fonts that may look squeezed if
no adjustment of page width is made by the application.
.sp
The following Diablo 630 commands are not supported: print suppression,
HY-Plot, extended character set, downloading print wheel information or
program mode, page lengths other than 11 inches, paper feeder control,
hammer energy control, remote diagnostic, backward printing control (note,
however, that "reverse printing" is supported).
