SATFILTER |
What is SATFILTER |
SATFILTER is a filter which provides a facility to print "word processor" quality letters/reports using the same (SAT/ML) markup language as SATFORM. The output is suitable for HP LaserJet III (PCL), or later, compatible printers.
SATFILTER is implemented as a script for easy portability.
How SATFILTER works |
SATFILTER uses an HTML style markup system (SAT/ML). As many people are familiar with HTML it was decided to copy this style. Some of the tags function as they do in HTML, others don't, and many are specific to SAT/ML.
SATFILTER reads data from standard input and processes any SAT/ML tags and macros imbedded in the data to produce the final (LaserJet PCL) formatted result.
Release Status |
SATFILTER is currently at release Alpha2
System Requirements |
Any Unix system with a version of nawk which supports toupper and tolower.
Installation |
The directory location of the SATFILTER script (satfilter) is not important, but it is suggested that it be placed in the /usr/local/bin directory.
The first line of satfilter...
#!/usr/bin/nawk
Will probably need to be changed to reflect the location of the nawk interpreter on your system.
