2BGI (Basic Graphical Instructions) to PostScript translator. Probably
3not useful outside the Computer Centers. Added code to tie lines to
4device space coordinates. Helps eliminate variations in line widths
5noticeable when users selected a non-zero linewidth with the -w option.
6
7Much that was omitted from early versions of the program has been
8implemented. What's in place will handle most STARE (black and white)
9and PRISM (color) BGI jobs. PRISM jobs often fill regions with color,
10and need require device specific tuning to get things just right. An
11easy solution is add "-P/prism true def" option to the postbgi command
12line when you translate PRISM jobs.
13
14A typical command line for STARE jobs would be,
15
16	postbgi file >file.ps
17
18while for PRISM jobs use,
19
20	postbgi -P"/prism true def" file >file.ps
