.SH NAME
maha - make and print interpress files
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B maha
[ options ] [ files ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Maha
(maharani-the Interpress version of the program czarina) reads in text
files, converts them to interpress format and ships them to an
interpress printer.  It also performs some simple page formatting.
.PP
The environment variable MAHA may be used to specify default options.
The value of MAHA is parsed as a string of arguments before the arguments
that appear on the command line.  For example, "MAHA=`-f Classic/8'" sets
your default body font to 8 point Classic.
.PP
The possible options are:
.TP
.BI - n
Prints output
.I n
columns per page (note that
.I n
is limited to one digit)
.TP
.BI -b \ banner
Uses
.I
banner
to label the output.  It will appear on the cover page
on the line labeled \*(lqDocument\*(rq.
.TP
.BI -c \ n
Causes
.I n
copies of the output to be printed.  The default is 1.
.TP
.BI -f \ font\ \ \ \ \ 
Sets the font to be used for the body of each page.
The default is \*(lqVintage-Printwheel/10\*(rq.
.TP
.BI -F \ font
Sets the font to be used for page headings.
The default is \*(lqModern-Bold/12\*(rq.
.TP
.BI -H \ header
Sets the format for page headings to the string
.IR header .
Certain formatting options can be embedded in this string.  See the
section below entitled \*(lqHeader Format\*(rq.
The default header is constructed from the file name, its last
modification date, and a page and line number.
.TP
.BI -h \ header
Appends the string
.I header
to the current header format string.  This can be used to append
something to the default header.
.TP
.B -l
Causes line printer simulation mode to be used:  pages will be 66 lines
long and headers will be omitted.
.TP
.BI -n \ name
Sets the delivery address of your output (the \*(lqFor\*(rq field on the
cover sheet) to
.IR name .
The default is your full name as recorded in the gecos field of the password
file (\*(lq/etc/passwd\*(rq).
.TP
.BI -o \ file\ \ \ \ \ 
The interpress code is written into
.IR file .
The default is generated from the process i.d. of the program.
.TP
.B -r
Rotates the output 90 degrees on the page (landscape mode).
This is good for output that requires a wide paeg or for program listings
when specifying two columns.  Some people like the program listings produced
by the command \*(lq\fBmaha -2 -r\fP files\*(rq.
.TP
.B -R
Forces portrait mode.  This overrides the
.B -r
option.  It is useful if the environment variable MAHA sets
.BR -r .
.TP
.BI -s \ pages
Selects pages to be printed.
.I Pages
may be a single page specification (eg. \*(lq5\*(rq), a range
of pages (\*(lq5-10\*(rq),
or a list of page specifications (eg. \*(lq3,11-13\*(rq).  Note
that this syntax is identical to that accepted by the
.B -o
option of
.IR troff .
.TP
.B -t
Causes page headings (titles) to be omitted.
.sp 
.PP
.B "Specifying Fonts"
.PP
The naming scheme for fonts is a slight variant on the universal naming 
scheme used by interpress.  See \*(sc3.2.2 in
.I "Interpress Electronic Printing Standard"
(\s8XSIS\s0 048404) for a description of universal names.
Each identifier of a universal font name is
separated by a slash (\*(lq/\*(rq).  If the final identifier in
the name is nothing more than a series of digits,
as in \*(lqClassic/8\*(rq, then it is taken to be a point size.  The actual
universal name is formed by removing this last identifier.
If the last part of the name is not strictly a number, then the
point size is assumed to be 10.
Since most
environments use the same prefix for a universal font name, 
A standard prefix of several identifiers
is prepended to every font name given on the command line.
This can be overridden by placing a slash at the front of the given name
in which case the universal name is formed by simply removing the slash
from the front of the name.  Note that the point size calculation mentioned
above will still be performed on this type of name.

If a font name has the unfortunate characteristic of containing nothing but
numbers in its last identifier, it can still be specified by always appending
a point size to the name, as in the last example above.

.PP
.B "Header Format"
.PP
The string that is used to build the header can have format options embedded
in it.  Each formatting option is preceded with the character \*(lq%\*(rq in
a manner similar to 
.IR printf (3S)
strings in C.  The following format characters are recognized:

If a percent sign is followed by a character not in the list above, then
that character gets printed (without the leading percent sign).  Note that a
percent sign can still be printed in the header by placing two in the
