GNU enscript for MPE/iX

GNU enscript is a set of programs that converts plain text input files to Postscript, HTML or RTF. It provides various options like 2-up or 4-up layout or syntax/keyword highlighting for input data like Java or C or HTML source code. Combined with GNU ghostscript, it can also be used to generate PDF output.

To build enscript on MPE/iX, I have used the GNU gcc compiler package as well as a few selected (object) files from the Posix Porting Wrappers on Jazz. The files that have been compiled with HP C/iX (c89) for convenience (calling MPE intrinsics is a little easier in HP C/iX than in GNU gcc) are supplied as .o files, in case you don't have c89 on your system.

My binaries were built on 7.0 PowerPatch 1 using GNU gcc 2.95.2

To build enscript 1.6.1/iX.1 on MPE/iX, you need the following files:

To just use precompiled binaries, you can use the following:

Have fun with enscript for MPE/iX, but keep in mind: use at your own risk
