This is official patch #11 for mp v2.4.
CONTENTS:
1. What is mp?
2/ Changes made in this patch.
3/ How to install this patch.
4/ How to get previous patches.
----------------
1/ What is mp?
Mp is a Postscript pretty printer for mail,news and ordinary files.
Mp v2.4 was posted to comp.sources.misc about three weeks ago at patchlevel #5.
----------------
2/ Changes made in this patch.
* From Sato Toshihiko <sato at omphalos.bug.co.jp>
The names of the personal organiser prologue files in get_options()
in misc.c, was not changed to the new names in patch #10.
* From Paul Eggert <eggert at twinsun.com>
mp.1 should be built when you type "make". On many hosts, you must
install as root, but root lacks write privaledge to the working
directory because it's mounted via NFS.
* From Rick Rodgers <rodgers at maxwell.mmwb.ucsf.EDU>
From Paul Eggert <eggert at twinsun.com>
When you do a "make", occurances of BINDIR in the mp.man manual pages,
are now replaced with the value of $(BINDIR) from the Makefile.
* From Johan Vromans <jv at mh.nl>
Added the rule "install-a4" to Makefile.dist. If you do a "make
install-a4", mp is initially installed. This is then followed by
the prologue files being edited in situ, and adjusted for A4 sized
paper. The README file has been updated to mention this.
----------------
3/ How to install this patch.
Apply the patch with Larry Wall's patch program. Copy Makefile.dist to
Makefile and adjust for your site. Then do a "make". If your site uses
US Letter paper size, then do a "make install". If your site uses A4 paper
size, then do a "make install-a4". You will probably have to be super-user
to do this. You might wish to reread the installation section in the README
file to make sure you've adjusted everything in the Makefile that you need to.
----------------
4/ How to get previous patches.
If you need to get patches 6-10, then they can be obtained from the automatic
mail archive server, by sending a message to rb-archive-server at Aus.Sun.COM
containing the line:
send mp patchn
where n is the patch number you require.
The latest complete mp distribution (fully patched) can be obtained from the
same address, by sending a message containing the lines:
send mp part1
send mp part2
If the mail is likely to go back through any sites that impose a size limit,
then I suggest you divide the above request up into two separate mail
messages.
You can also include a path line in these requests to indicate the mail
path that the archive server should use to send the files to you. Such a
path line could be:
path uunet.uu.net!hostname!user
Note that this is uunet.uu.net and not just uunet. Sun.COM doesn't recognise
just uunet.
[NOTE: When unpacking the shars generated by the automatic mail service,
it is possible you will get error messages for incorrect length.
Please ignore; hopefully the files should still unpack correctly].

Once you are happy with these settings, then you should do a "make", which
will compile the mp program.
! You should then check each of the PostScript prologue files (these have an
! extension of .ps) and set the paper size correctly for your site. The paper
! size is defaulted to US Letter size, so this will work successfully on A4
! sized paper but not use all of the paper.
!
! It is also possible to change the number of lines printed per page, by
adjusting the %%PageLength value in the initial portion of each of the
PostScript prologue files. For example, with the default prologue file
mp.pro.ps, A4 size paper users might find a page length of 72 more useful.

Alternatively you might only wish a subset to be installed, in which case
you should adjust the MAILPNAMES definition in the Makefile accordingly.
! This should be followed by a "make install" which will put the files in
! their default locations. You will probably have to be super-user when you do
! the "make install".

Alternatively you might only wish a subset to be installed, in which case
you should adjust the MAILPNAMES definition in the Makefile accordingly.
! You now need to do an installation that is appropriate for your site. There
! are two types of installation:
+ 1) If you are using US Letter size paper you should do a "make install".
+ 2) If you are using A4 size paper, then you should do a "make install-a4".
+ This installation will put the files in their default locations. You will
+ probably have to be super-user when you do the "make install".

*** 366,368 ****
--- 366,390 ----
Added into the README file, the instructions for A4 sites that they
have also to change the "%%PageLength" line in mp.pro.ps. In my
opinion, 72 seems to be a good value.
