The Interpress Electronic Printing Standard, as proposed by Xerox Corporation,
defines the digital representation of printed material for exchange between a
creator and printer.  This document is provided as an installation and
user's guide for a package
of Interpress generation software which runs under both the 4.2BSD UNIX\(dg
and VAX/VMS\(dd operating systems.  Through these routines, Interpress 
masters can be created with relative ease.

A program to post-process the output from typesetter-independent \*(TR
and create an \*(IP master.
.ip "iptroff"
A shell script which will call typesetter-independent \*(TR and then
``dipress''.
.ip "iptotext"
A program to convert an encoded \*(IP master (a binary file) to a text
readable representation called ``Intertext''.
.ip "texttoip"
A program to reverse the above transformation. (i.e., turn an Intertext file
into encoded Interpress.
.ip "charset"
A program to create an \*(IP master which will image a complete character set
of a font.
.ip "ipmetrics"
A program to convert fonts metrics from the Interpress metric master format
to that of specific composing systems.
.ip "restotext"
A program to convert a RES (Raster Encoding Standard) file to a
textual representation similar to ``Intertest''.
.ip "stackres"
Execute a RES file and print the results on top of the stack.
