Enscript question: Making page colored

[Joel Hammer]

> \shade{val}

I tried this and didn't quite get what I wanted. So, I went back to
basics (really) and read the first chapter about postscript again and
then looked at the postscript which enscript generates. There is a Box
routine generated in enscript's standard postscript output, so, this text
file gives a nice blue page on which are displayed two small pictures
(jpg's) side by side (converted to encapsulated postscript by convert).

^@ps{gsave 0 0 1 setrgbcolor 5 5 500 760 Box fill grestore}
^@epsf[h2i n ]{junk1.epsi}
^@epsf[h2i x3i y-1]{junk2.epsi}

enscript is run with this command:

enscript -o junk.ps junk.txt -e 

If you want to get this to work, of course, you have to generate the
control code for zero, not the two characters ^@. On my keyboard [cntrl v][0]
(followed by your next character or space) works. At least in vi in insert
mode.
