elvis (vi clone) .doc to postscript filter

[Mike Hoegeman]

this script "ftops", converts elvis .doc files to
postscript. Here is an example

    refont -f *.doc | ftops  > elvisDoc.ps

refont comes with the elvis package. ftops conforms enough to
structured postscript to make it usable with the X11/NeWS pageview
postscript previewer. just snip at cut here line and chmod +x the thing

#!/bin/sh 
if [ X$1 != X ]; then
    2>&1 cat <<\EOF

    ftops is a simple filter, it reads from stdin and writes to stdout 
    
    it is used for converting files with \f<fontstyle> type font change
    escapes to postscript. it is a quick hack to convert elvis .doc
    files to postscript

    e.g. usage;

	refont -f *.doc | ftops > elvisDoc.ps

EOF
    exit 1
