HylaFAX The world's most advanced open source fax server |
The following may work for you: #!/usr/bin/perl # # This file needs to be called: # /usr/local/sbin/faxmail/application/postscript # and have the +x bit set. # # Script to work with Hylafax's faxmail. # It attempts to blow up attached postscript to full size on # the next page, instead of shrinking it to 5% on page one # which is the default in faxmail. # # Your mileage will definitely vary. # Seems to work with golfer.ps and tiger.ps in the # ghostscript/3.33/examples directory # # Ben Parker <ben@dha.unon.org> Dec 97 # # open (TEMP, "$ARGV[0]") || die "$ARGV[0] file not found.\n"; print STDERR "$ARGV[0] opened ...\n"; while (<TEMP>) { if ($_ =~ "EndProlog") { print "\% line inserted to blow up size\n"; print "showpage\n"; } print $_; } # end of script Let me know if it works!
