I managed to send out the wrong version of the lex file, epf.l in
my last posting.  This one should work better.  Sorry about that...

This is a shell archive; the following should be invoked with "sh" not
"csh".

X/**********************************************************************
X * epf -- Epson Print Filter.  This filter takes standard input and looks
X * for pattern used to simulate BOLD and ITALIC (UNDERLINE) on dumb
X * printers.  These patterns are converted to escape sequences that can
X * be used by Epson printers.
X *
X * There are 3 states in this lexical analyzer:
X * 0      -- normal input
X * ITALIC -- currently putting out chars with underlining.
X * BOLD   -- currently putting out chars in boldface.
X *
X * ITALIC is performed on dumb printers with the sequence:
X *	<underscore char><bs><character>
X *      where <bs> is a backspace character
X *
X * BOLD on dumb printers with at least 1 overstrike:
X *	<char><bs><char>...<bs><char>
X *	where the pattern <bs><char> must occur at least once.
X *
X * For efficiency considerations, an underscore encountered while in
X * ITALIC mode is translated to a space.  If true italics are available
X * the underscore would look funny.  If only underlining is available,
X * then the printer's internal underlining (which may be better looking
X * than an underscore) will be used.
X *
X * Similarly, a blank encountered while in BOLD is just output
X * without any state change.
X *
X * The output of the nroff processor with the -T37 option is typical
X * of what epf(1) is expecting.
X *
X * In addition, epf(1) will react to escape sequences as output by
X * cpr(1) when using the -x option.  These sequences are:
X *
X *	<ESC>R	- go to Roman typeface
X *	<ESC>I	- go to Italic typeface
X *	<ESC>B	- go to Bold typeface
X *
X * The output of epf are escape sequences used by the epson printers
X * or a ThinkJet run in alternate (epson emulation) mode.  The
X * output sequences are:
X *
X *	<ESC>-0	- Turn off italic mode
X *	<ESC>-1	- Turn on italic mode
X *	<ESC>F	- Turn off bold mode
X *	<ESC>E	- Turn on bold mode
X *
X * As a general rule, BOLD and ITALIC may not exist at the same time.
X *
X * To compile this beast:
X *	lex epf.l
X *	cc -O -o epf lex.yy.c -ll
