-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
This version offers a number of enhancements and bug fixes:
o Updated to ELF binary
o Added quoted characters to literal strings. Used Eiffel form of
quote character, ie, %N for newline, %R for return, etc. Also allow
arbitrary ASCII codes in the form %/xxx/ where xxx is a decimal ASCII
code of any length.
o Included config files for all printers as documented in the "Printer
Job Language: Technical Reference Manual".
o Will not output any data when no print files are processed.
o Provided capability to send just PJL code to the printer and not
have to encapsulate any print file. This can be used to change the
printer default settings. A separate config file can be used by the
super-user to modify default settings with a particular password.
o Allow unknown print file types to be output as straight text. Added
- -notext switch to turn the capability off. (Does not do any CR to
CR/LF translation).
o Added parsing of real numbers for config files in both individual
numbers and numeric ranges.
o Restricted numbers to unsigned integers and unsigned reals for
config files.
o Fixed bug for files that were only `readable' when they had read
_and_ write permissions. I must have been asleep when I coded this
one!
o Changed option -config to -showconfig because of clash with
- -configfile.
o Fixed bug with -configfile option not working with a list of files.
o Display variables in alphabetic order for -help and -config options.
o Fixed parsing error with comments within a repetition construct. ie,
comments within a list of option values caused a failure during
semantic application.
