Page length using a2ps
Hi, I have a text document that is formatted with page length = 68 rather than the 65 which is the default for a2ps. However, whenever I try to format the text using a2ps into a 68 lines per page document (using the --lines-per-page option), it doesnt seem to make a difference : I still get a postscript document with 65 pages. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Jor-el He who is intoxicated with wine will be sober again in the course of the night, but he who is intoxicated by the cupbearer will not recover his senses until the day of judgement. -- Saadi

What am I doing wrong? ? (65 lines?) --lines-per-page works perfectly fine here... Maybe another parameter is overriding this setting? Try it with --line-numbers=1, just to be sure of the number of lines per page you're getting. -- ___ ___ __ _ _ __ |_ ) / -_) _` | ' \ / / \___\__, |_|_|_/___| |___/

Re: Page length using a2ps
Saadi, Do a search in the a2ps info document for --lines-per-page. You might be specifying an incorrect font-size parameter.
