14 .SH DESCRIPTION
15 .I m2ps
16 runs as a filter and converts a text encoded in Mule
17 internal code (called *internal*) to a PostScript program to
18 print it. To handle a text not coded in *internal*, you
19 have to convert the code to *internal* at first. You can
20 use
21 .I coco
22 for the code conversion. You can also use
23 .I any2ps
24 to do all the job (code conversion and PostScript generation).
