If this is a re-post, sorry. I thought I mailed this to -questions.

They are in print/ghostscript-{afpl,gnu,gpl}, though ghostscript-gpl is
preferred one.
HTH,
It prob'ly will. Maybe I can select which things to build from
the Makefile. It's been awhle.

To everyone,
An update to whomever is interested in these conversion programs.
I tried ps2ascii (or whatever apropos pdf found tht might
convert a pdf file to plain text. It blew up. So I scp'd the
pdf file to my Ubuntu computer and ran pdftotext -layout *pdf.
It worked vvery well. Next, I spent hours googling around until
I foound that pdftotext is part of xpdf. There are several of
these ancillary programs from xpdf. I'm building it now on my
new tao. See how it works.
For now, I'm just making a note of these obscure details in my
~/.Notes files. Now, this stuff will be available inthe
-questions archives. Just FWIW.
this day has gone on for about 97 hours!

On my Ubuntu server (which is starting to fail big time) there is pdf2ascii. It takes severa flags, so it may be a custom script from the Debian guys. Here (FBSD) the scripts are similar, but much simpler; fewer flaf.s. --Of course I haven't upgraded ghostscript-gnu for months. BTW, I was looking for the ps/pdf stuff in converters Live and learn! The other converters like dvips, dvipdfm are in print. thanks, gents; it helps to have all this expertise gary -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public Service Unix ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
