Hi Derek,
I'm forwarding this bug to you from the Debian BTS. Please let us know
what you think, and keep the CC to 548327-forwar...@bugs.debian.org in
your reply. You can also view it at

Package: xword
Version: 1.0-4
Severity: wishlist
xword's printed output is very nice, so it's useful to have a
command-line option to generate a postscript file from .puz
input. This means, for example, you can have a cron job that:
- downloads a crossword
- uses xword to generate a printable version
- prints out the crossword so it's ready when you wake up :)
I've attached a patch to do this, but it's a patch on top of my
previous patch from bug #539756, since it needs the OptionParser
change.
many thanks,
mark
