Re: [a2ps] a2ps config file

[C.G.Senthilkumar.]

Setting the HOME envi. var. to my home directory and placing my
configuration file in HOME\.a2ps\a2psrc file did the trick.

I'd be much grateful, if this information is included in the
documentation. I wasted a lot of time figuring this out. Being new to
MS-Windows myself, didn't help either. :(

Thanks much.
Senthil.
