ansiprint

a utility for printing text files (or stdin) from remote terminals using ANSI telnet escape sequences

Ansiprint was inspired by the ansiprt.c component of the University of Washington's excellent email package, pine, but has been completely re-written in C++ and includes a variety of new features. Ansiprint is free software, released under the BSD license. That means you can do anything whatsoever you want with it, except claim you wrote it.

Current development status: Stable, v 1.0.
Last Updated: December 31, 2000.

FEATURES

• Input from either stdin or text files specified on the command line.
• Can write output either to stdout (default) or to /dev/tty (in case something is trapping stdout).
• Prints a form-feed character to separate multiple files. (Can be disabled by user.)
• Can print a form feed after all pages/files are printed. (Presumed useful with some tractor-feed printers. Disabled by default.)
• User can specify size of read/write buffer.

ABOUT THE DEVELOPER

Ansiprint was written by Jason R. McVetta, a 5^th year student at The Ohio State University. He is majoring in Political Science with a minor in Urban Planning (both with an emphasis on public policy). A word of encouragement if you are thinking of hiring him: he will work cheap, because he's dead broke right now (as always).
