CONFIGURATION and EXAMPLES
==========================

This directory contains some simple examples, which demonstrate
the use of LPU.
Also included are the required configuration files 'lpu.dev' and
'lpu.tab', and a sample parameter file, 'lpu.par'.

'lpu.dev' contains descriptions of the paper formats and fonts,
that are supported by the output device.
'lpu.tab' is a database of descriptions of all forms and labels.
'lpu.par' contains some common definitions, which may be used by
all LPU command files.

Files with the extension '.lpu' are LPU commandfiles. Includefiles
have an extension of '.lpi' by default, and files with the extension
'.tdb' are text database files.

The command 'lpu test' creates postscript output from the description
in file 'test.lpu', and sends it to STDOUT. Errors and debug output
are written to STDERR.
To store the output in a file, use something like 'lpu test >test.ps'.
You may print your labels afterwards on a postscript printer, or
convert it for your non postscript printer, for instance with a tool
like apsfilter, or the well known ghostscript interpreter.

Of course, you can view the result on the screen before printing
with every postscript viewer.

The file 'messen.lpu' creates a calibration page for adjusting LPU
to your printer device.
