It skips the check for the math library on Darwin because the math
functions are included in the system library. It however later aborts
because it didn't find a math library.
Work arround this by not skipping the math library check on Darwin.
The "configure" scripts now finds "/usr/lib/libm.dylib" which is
a symlink to the system library.
This is based on a suggestion by Yorick Hardy, who reports that it
improved behavior. Without the patch, the cups usb driver tries to
read status from ulpt(4) (for most printers), and this results in no
output.
pkgsrc changes: fix locale path
patch a bug in pstops's n-up handling (reported to upstream)

Suggested by J.D. Laub <jdl@access-health.com>:
- -V option to show mpage version
- -- option to stop process options (remaing args are files)
- add -- option to prprog when filename starts with a -.
From: Sanjoy Mahajan <sanjoy@mrao.cam.ac.uk>
- %% and \n fixes for Duplex Beginfeature settings.
October 2002

and the physical page number on the right. Per suggestion of
Marc Branchaud <marcnarc@xcert.com>
- From Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>: define showheet using
the load operator instead of the bind operator. This might solve
situations where showpage is redefined elsewhere.
- From Ilgiz Latypov <ilgizl@pcauto.comk>: -J option to set an
initial value to the pagenum counter.
- Improved processing of "BeginDocument/EndDocument" directives
resulting in much better handling of included EPS graphics.
Should improve processing of dvips files a lot...
Jun 2002
from: jdl@access-health.com
- When processing stdin, 'pr' was hardcoded instead of using the
prprog variable.
- Removed useless strcpy when processing command line args
(could even give unpredictable results)
from: dlarson@brookings.net
- explicitely set duplex printing to false in the default case.
from: George.Pajari@Faximum.com
- using -m while printing in duplex creates useless margins: punching
holes may go through the printed areas on one of the sides.
Jan 2002 Marcel J.E. Mol marcel@mesa.nl
- lib/mpage -> share/mpage
Nov 2001 Marcel J.E. Mol marcel@mesa.nl

- Patch from Gabor Ribarik <ribarik@math-inst.hu> to take of
dvips(k) 5.78's output if it contains many postscript figures.
(see indoc variable in post.c)
He (or actually Attila Karpati) also implemented multiple -j options.
Fix the %%Page director when pages are skipped (with -j).
- Include amiga port from Andreas R. Kleinert <info@ar-kleinert.de>:
* added smakefile, smakefile.ppc and SCOPTIONS
* added #ifdef AMIGA section to mpage.h
* mpage.h now #undefs MAXINT if already #define
(before re-#defining it iself)
* LIBDIR has been #define within SCOPTIONS;
used MPAGE: assign, which you may redirect
yourself, then...
Jun 1998 Marcel J.E. Mol marcel@mesa.nl

Apr 1998 Marcel J.E. Mol marcel@mesa.nl
- Corrected types (lvirden@cas.org)
Mar 1998 Marcel J.E. Mol marcel@mesa.nl

the paper array in glob.c).

flpsed is a WYSIWYG PostScript2 annotator. You can't remove or modify
existing elements of a document, but flpsed lets you add arbitrary
text lines to existing PostScript 2 documents. Added lines can later
be re-edited with flpsed. Using pdftops, which is part of xpdf one can
convert PDF documents to PostScript and also add text to them. flpsed
is useful for filling in forms, adding notes etc. GsWidget is now
part of flpsed. flpsed is released under the GPL.
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.
* Batch processing (no X11 required) to modify tagged text lines
that have been entered interactively with flpsed before. This
is very useful for repeatedly filling in forms.
* Text lines can be imported from other flpsed-modified documents.
* Import and export PDF. Therefore it can be used as a PDF editor as well.
