Nils, I'm sending this to Debian Devel, as mail bounced when I sent this to you at [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...
Nils, Sounds like a huge improvement over the old shell script. Can you send me a copy, or should I wait to grab it from the new TeX packages? As far as the paper sizes are concerned, they are simply those defined, or understood, by ghostscript. You should be abe to find them in the a2gs man page, or in one of the ghostscript config files - can't remember which one. On another topic, do you know much PostScript? I seem to remember that there is a command for getting the file handle of the programme being interpreted, which will give STDIN if it is STDIN. This should help fix a longstanding bug in a2gs. On the other hand, I should really just bite the bullet and package up genscript. I'm sorry I can't be of more help - my Debian box is at home, and I'm not!
