[9fans] tr2post ignores \X'anything' troff lines

2011-04-03 Thread Rudolf Sykora
Hello 9fans,

I found that tr2post (at least on p9p) seems to discard [not process]
lines produced with \X'anything' in troff, so an input like

hello
\X'ps: exec 1 0 0 setrgbcolor'
blabla

results in output *without* the setrgbcolor line.
(using lines like this one can achieve coloured .ps, in this case the
'blabla' should be red)

Best regards
Ruda

Ok, it seems that what I need is a modification of
/src/cmd/postscript/tr2post/devcntl.c
in the case 'X' part.

Is there any reason for this
/*   else
error(WARNING, Unknown string %s %s after x X\n, 
str, buf);
*/
being commented out?

Thanks
Ruda
