A2ps formats each named file for printing in a postscript printer; if no file is given, a2ps reads from the standard input. The format used is nice and compact: normally two pages on each physical page, borders surrounding pages, headers with useful information (page number, printing date, file name or supplied header), line numbering, etc. This is very useful for making archive listings of programs. Additionally, A2ps "pretty print"s using special fonts for a wide array of languages, making things like program listings much more legible. LICENSE: GPL2 or later

cdlabelgen's purpose in life is twofold: o To be run automatically and swiftly from a shell script and automatically generate a frontcard and a traycard for a cd--usually data archive cd's. The traycard (which goes behind the CD itself) is U-shaped and the ends of the CD case bear the label of what the CD is. o To have a minimum of dependencies--cdlabelgen only requires perl. cdlabelgen was designed to simplify the process of generating labels for CD's. It originated as a program to allow auto generation of frontcards and traycards for CD's burned via an automated mechanism (specifically for archiving data), but has now become popular for labelling CD compilations of mp3's, and copies of CDs. Note that cdlabelgen does not actually print anything--it just spits out postscript, which you can then do with as you please. (from the manual, see cdlabelgen(1) for the full one)

foo2zjs is an open source printer driver for printers that use the Zenographics ZjStream wire protocol for their print data, such as the Minolta/QMS magicolor 2300 DL or Konica Minolta magicolor 2430 DL. These printers are often erroneously referred to as winprinters or GDI printers. However, Microsoft GDI only mandates the API between an application and the printer driver, not the protocol on the wire between the printer driver and the printer. In fact, ZjStream printers are raster printers which happen to use a very efficient wire protocol which was developed by Zenographics and licensed by most major printer manufacturers for at least some of their product lines. ZjStream is just one of many wire protocols that are in use today, such as Postscript, PCL, Epson, etc.

ReportLab is a software library that lets you directly create documents in Adobe's Portabe Document Format (PDF) using the Python programming language. The ReportLab library directly creates PDF based on your graphics commands. There are no intervening steps. Your applications can generate reports extremely fast - sometimes orders of magnitude faster than traditional report-writing tools. The ReportLab library is expected to be useful in at least the following contexts: - Dynamic PDF generation on the web - High-volume corporate reporting and database publishing - An embeddable print engine for other applications, including a 'report language' so that users can customize their own reports. - A 'build system' for complex documents with charts, tables and text such as management accounts, statistical reports and scientific papers - Going from XML to PDF in one step!

a2pdf converts ASCII text to PDF format, with optional line/page numbering and Perl syntax highlighting.

abc2mtex converts the "abc" music notation into MusiXTeX format. This can help simplifying writing tunes in a TeX format. The abc2mtex user documentation is installed as ${PREFIX:-/usr/local}/share/texmf/doc/abc2mtex/usrguide.ps, and a few examples can be found there in another subdirectory called `examples'. Note that the original programs `search' and `sort_in' have been renamed to `abc_search' and `abc_sort_in', respectively, to make their purpose clearer.
