The displayed quality is often not very good, +but the final printed version uses the "real" PostScript, and thus has the +normal full PostScript quality. + +<hr> + +<h2><a name="Usage"></a>Usage</h2> + +<h3><a name="Unix_usage"></a>Unix</h3> + +<p> +Using the supplied shell script <b><tt>ps2epsi</tt></b>, the command is + +<blockquote> +<b><tt>ps2epsi</tt></b> <b><em>infile.ps</em></b> <b><em>[outfile.epsi]</em></b> +</blockquote> + +<p> +where <b><em>infile.ps</em></b> is the input file and +<b><em>outfile.epsi</em></b> is the output EPSI file to be created.
