Real progress here.

Delegation: Netscape html:ps  \
    ${NETSCAPE:-w3m} '$f' \
  #{del.psselect} | #{del.psnup}


seems to work, with NETSCAPE pointed to w3m

But I can't a2ps to print html as anything but
the original source because:

$ a2ps -o sa.ps  Stoneage.html --pretty-print=[html] -Z
a2ps: cannot find file `[html].ssh'
a2ps: cannot find style sheet `[html]': using plain style
[Stoneage.html (plain): 18 pages on 9 sheets]
[Total: 18 pages on 9 sheets] saved into the file `sa.ps'
[1001 lines wrapped]

html.ssh is just where its supposed to be in /usr/share/a2ps/sheets

where the LibraryPath says they should be.

????

Anyone home yet?


I am learning a lot about a2ps, but still need help.

Great program!
