PROGRAM
     vlpr - Format a Khoros image for output on a standard line
     printer

SYNTAX
     vlpr

     -i             input image filename

     [-w]           printer width

     [-V]           Gives the version for vlpr

     [-U]           Gives the usage for vlpr

     [-P]           Prompts for command line options

     [-A [file1]]   Creates the answer file called vlpr.ans or
                    file1

     [-a [file1]]   Uses vlpr.ans or file1 as the answer file

DESCRIPTION
     vlpr formats a Khoros BYTE image for output on a standard
     line printer.  Thirty-two grey levels are used, obtained by
     multiple-overstrike methods.  An image wider in pixels than
     the printer width in character positions is cut into strips
     which can be placed side by side to form the whole.

     The output is sent to the standard output and must be piped
     to the appropriate device.

     NOTE: This routine can generate large amounts of printer
     output.  DO NOT send an image to the printer unless you are
     sure you can run faster than the users in the queue after
     you. They'll soon be after you with a stout rope!

REQUIRED ARGUMENTS
     -i     type: infile
            desc: input image filename

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS
     -w     type: integer
            desc: printer width
            default: 80
            bounds: no range checking

EXAMPLES
     vlpr -i feath.xv | lpr

     produces a picture of "feath.xv" on the line printer.
