PostScript Definitions

Please see the file README.ps for a description of the PostScript
definitions included in this archive.

Images
------

Please see the file README.img for a description of the different
resolution images.

Tools
-----

The utilities used to generate the images and Encapsulated
PostScript file from the original PostScript definition are
described below.  Most of these utilities are written in the Perl
language and require the Ghostscript (www.ghostscript.com)
PostScript language interpreter and the Netpbm
(netpbm.sourceforge.net) image processing toolkit. All of these
tools were developed and run under Unix-like operating systems
(Linux/Intel and Sun Solaris/SPARC); you'll doubtless need to change
things if you wish to run them on a different system.  These
utilities are in the public domain: you do can whatever you like
with them, but they are utterly unsupported--you're entirely on your
own.

    makeEPS.pl	    	Perl program which generates the
			Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file
			noEU.eps from the page description
			noEU.ps.  The ps2epsi utility (included
			with Ghostscript) is used to transform
			the file into EPS format and generate
			the embedded EPSI preview image.
			
    makeImage.pl    	Perl program which generates the PNG
			images in different resolutions from
			the noEU.ps page description.
			Ghostscript is used to generate a high
			resolution master image, which is then
			scaled with anti-aliasing using Netpbm
			utilities to create the final images.
			To generate images at the 1600 dots per
			inch resolution of those supplied in
			this archive, you'll need to run this
			program on a machine with more than 512
			Mb free disc space and  available RAM. 
			If your machine lacks such resources,
			you'll need to reduce the "$resolution"
			declared at the top of this file to a
			more modest value.
			
    makeZips.sh     	Shell script which creates the Zipped
    	    	    	distribution archives including this one.
			
    README.all	    	This file.
    
    README.img	    	Description of the generated image files.
    
    README.ps	    	Description of the PostScript files.
