[abcusers] abcm2ps-3.7.x and RoPS

2004-12-17 Thread Jean-Francois Moine
Hi everybody,

John Walsh warned me about a problem when using the free version of
RoPS (PostScript level 1 only) with stable releases of abcm2ps
(3.7.xx). Here is how to make it work:

- create a file (say 'ps1.abc') containing:

%%postscript /rectstroke{
%%postscript4 2 roll M 1 index 0 RL 0 exch RL neg 0 RL closepath
%%postscriptstroke}!
%%postscript /rectfill{
%%postscript4 2 roll M 1 index 0 RL 0 exch RL neg 0 RL closepath
%%postscriptfill}!
%%postscript /selectfont{exch findfont exch dup
%%postscripttype/arraytype eq{makefont}{scalefont}ifelse setfont}!

- then generate your tunes with this file as the first one:

abcm2ps ps1.abc your_tune.abc

About the PS level, I would say, no, John, with abcm2ps, there is no
difference generating level 1 or level 2.

BTW, D. J. Bernstein from Chicago found a security hole which is present
in all abcm2ps versions. So, please, upgrade to the latest ones (3.7.21
and 4.8.5).

Best regards.
