	Postscript compatible printer (e.g. Apple Laser Writer, Allied
	Linotype 300, etc.).  The following options are understood:

-s Output out size information

-P Use printers colors (i.e. CYM, or CYMB) when doing multi-color
   passes (default is RGB, or RGBW).

-N Output a negative of the image.

-3 Output three color passes (e.g. RGB or CYM).

-4 Output four color passes (e.g. RGBW or CYMB).

-n Do not output any Postscript code to transform the image
   (i.e. translate and scale).

-t Do not output Postscript code to print title of file on page
   (default is to print the title).

-ofilename
 Send Postscript output to the file specified by

-a aspect_ratio
 Set the aspect ratio (height : width, as a fraction, i.e. 1:2=.5), 
 to aspect_ratio.

-b offset
 Add a brightness offset to the image data (range is 0.0 to 1.0).

-c number_of_copies
 Output Postscript code to print number_of_copies of the image.

-xx_origin

 corner of the page in inches to x_origin.

-yy_origin
 Set the y (vertical) origin of the image from the lower left corner of 
 the page in inches to y_origin.

-Xx_width
 Set the x (horizontal) width of the image in inches to x_width.

-Yy_height
 Set the y (vertical) height of the image in inches to y_height.

-r Rotate the image (via Postscript code) 90 degrees to create
 a landscape format page.

-e Output Encapsulated Postscript Format (EPS) suitable for
 inclusion in other programs that can import EPS files (e.g. Aldus's
 PageMaker). format page.

-C Output compressed postscript (may be used with any of the other 
 options).  This will allow only approx. 85 grey levels, but results
 in a vast output size reduction.

-p screen_pattern
 Set the halftone screen pattern.  Default is dots.  If 1 is used as an

EXAMPLES

Output printable ICB Postscript file:

trueps-C filename.icb

The output file will be named filename.ps.  This file can be sent
to a any PostScript compatible printer for printing.

Output encapsulated Postscript file
trueps-C-e filename.icb

The output file will be named filename.eps.  This file can be used
with Aldus PageMaker or other programs that accept EPS files for inclusion.

Output Postscript file to generate color

trueps-C-P-4 filename.icb

This will generate four files named filename.cyn, filename.mag, filename.yel, and filename.blk.  These are the 4 color separation 
files with PostScript to generate them.
