last year some time.)

August 2003
RedHat fixes

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
- Released version 2.5.3
- Start moving mapge into the GPL...
- Fixed double 'showsheet' output when processing postscript.
- Added A0 to page_desc in glob.c.
- Remove newline after formfeed. (Gregory Bond <gnb@itga.com.au>)
- the -X option now always prints the filename/header on the left
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

Aug 1999 Marcel J.E. Mol marcel@mesa.nl
- Added -e option and related code from Enrique Melendez Asensio <ema@csn.es>
to allow 4,1,2,3 booklets... Needs cleanup and extended to txt too.
- 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
- Clipping logical page was terribly wrong. This was visible when
specifying negative pagemargins (-M).
Apr 1998 Marcel J.E. Mol marcel@mesa.nl
- Corrected types (lvirden@cas.org)
Mar 1998 Marcel J.E. Mol marcel@mesa.nl
- for EPS files that have %%Trailer and are included in PS files
mpage will stop after the first %%Trailer. Made check on %%Trailer
(and %%PSTrailer) a runtime option -k ('kill on trailer');
- When input text file has no newline at last line, mpage forgot to
print that line...
- Updated manual page and usage (lm@cs.rmit.edu.au)
- warning in -b option failed.
- Changed defining paper types (to add new papger tpyes, just add to
the paper array in glob.c).
Jan 1998 Marcel J.E. Mol marcel@mesa.nl
- Removed save/restore statements for PS input processing. They seem
to generate 'memory overflow' errors.
- Removed 'TexDict begin' additions for dvips files.
- OS/2 changes (Alexander Mai <st002279@hrzpub.tu-darmstadt.de>)
- Makefile: create install dirs if not there (jwessel@uiuc.edu)
