-flpsed
-=======
-
-
-flpsed is a PostScript annotator. You can't actually 
-edit existing PostScript documents, but you can add arbitrary text lines to
-existing documents.
-It is useful for filling in forms etc. 
-
-Quick Start:
-- Open an existing PostScript document.
-- Click anywhere on the document and type a text line.
-- The frame around the text shows, which text line has the focus.
-- Click on the lower left corner of a text line to focus it or use the 
-  Tab-key to cycle through the text lines on the current page. 
-- Remove text, by hitting BackSpace.
-- Move text lines by dragging them with the mouse or using the arrow keys.
-- Navigate within the document with the Page->Next or Page->First menu buttons.
-- Save your document and preview it with ghostview or something similar.
-- If you reopen the document with flpsed, you can edit the added text lines.
-
-Features:
-- Add arbitrary text to existing PostScript documents.
-- Reedit text, that has been added with flpsed.
-- The overall structure of the PostScript document is not
-  modified. flpsed only adds the additional text.
-- Lines can be given names ("tags"). The text of these lines can
-  be replaced in batch mode (no X11 required).
- 
-Restrictions:
-- flpsed probably does not work on all existing PostScript documents.
-  You simply have to test it for your documents.
-- Zooming depends on the availability of scalable fonts on your X11 system.
-  Font sizes might be wrong with zoom values other than 100% if these are 
-  missing.
-- flpsed is alpha software, so please backup your files, before trying to 
-  modify them.
-
-Building:
-- flpsed only works on X11-based systems.
-- You need to have ghostscript installed.
-- You need to have fltk-1.3.x from www.fltk.org installed.
-- Unpack the tarball and type "./configure", "make", and "make install".

-Tags and Batch Mode:
-
-To use batch mode, add text lines to your PostScript document as usual. 
-Give all or some of the lines tag names (Tags->Edit Tag). 
-Save the document. Now you can replace the text of the tagged line in batch
-mode using the -t flag (see usage).
-Example:
-Lets assume you have added text lines with tags "name", and "street"
-to your document letter.ps with flpsed in interactive mode and saved the
-result in letter-templ.ps.
-You can now call flpsed in batch mode to set the actual values:
-
-flpsed -b -t name="Hans Meier" -t street="Haupstr. 14" letter-templ.ps out.ps

-==================
-Mac OS X 
-==================
-
-To compile flpsed on Mac OS X Panther, first make sure you have Fink
-installed.  Make sure Fink is set up to install unstable packages.
-(See the Fink Docs about this at the Fink website.)
-
-Then use Fink to install the following packages.
-
-Apple X11, xfree, or xorg
-	If you choose Apple X11, make sure you install X11-SDK which is
-	found on the Panther install disks.
-
-fltk-x11
-fltk-x11-shlibs
-ghostscript
-
-DO NOT INSTALL the Fink package called fltk, as this appears to be for
-building aqua fltk applications rather than X11 apps.
-
-You must unset the C-preprocessor macro __APPLE__ to get flpsed to compile
-under OS X. This is can be done by calling 
-"CPPFLAGS=-U__APPLE__; export CPPFLAGS" before running "./configure".
