wvPS(1)

🎀 wvPS — like wvPS(1), but make it make sense 🎀

okay so bestie, this is a page from the General Commands Manual — the wvPS(1) one specifically — and it's literally your cheat code for turning old Word docs into PostScript. no cap, it's short and it slays. let's get into it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

wvPS — converts msword documents to PS. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

wvPS in_word_doc out_ps_doc

two args, in and out, no drama. you give it a Word doc, it hands you back a PS file. iconic behavior fr fr. 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so wvPS converts word documents into PS (Postscript) format. periodt.

and then what? bestie, then you can take that PS version and do whatever — print it, or view it with gv, ggv, ghostview, etc.. like, the etc is doing a lot of work there but you get the vibe 😭 the point is: convert once, then go off with the output however you want.

ngl the original just says "etc.." so i'm not gonna invent viewers for you. those three are the ones it actually names (with ggv and ghostview being the classic squad). 💀

👑 REQUIREMENTS 👑

before any of this works you need these two in your life:

• wvDVI
• dvips

no cap, don't skip the prerequisites, they're giving "you can't sit with us" energy if they're missing 🙈
