What's new in vtprint 2.0 from 1.x?
vtprint-2.0 represents a *complete* rewrite of vtprint. I decided to change
somewhat the design philosophy, deeming portability to non-UNIX systems to
be really worthless. Hence, this is probably only compilable on UNIX or
UNIX-clone systems. Also, I moved to the "getopt()" facility which
simplified some of the option parsing code.
Here's a list of some of the "user-visible" additions to vtprint:
1) support for any *terminal* with printer control codes via
an external library file (see vtprintcap(5).)
2) support for CR/LF handling directly
3) support for output to *any* device file via the command line.
4) support for "session defaults" via an environmental variable
which can hold command-line options.
5) optional "binary" mode, overriding CR/LF translations (can only
be used on terminal devices).
6) probably other things I can't think of now.
