5 Library Files
***************

To be general and to allow as much customization as possible, a2ps
avoids to hard code its knowledge (encodings, PostScript routines,
etc.), and tries to split it in various files.  Hence it needs a path,
i.e., a list of directories, in which it may find the files it needs.

   The exact value of this library path is available by 'a2ps
--list=defaults'.  Typically its value is:
     gargantua ~ $ a2ps --list=defaults
     Configuration status of a2ps 4.14
     _More stuff deleted here_
     Internals:
       verbosity level     = 2
       file command        = /usr/ucb/file -L
       temporary directory =
       library path        =
             /inf/soft/infthes/demaille/.a2ps
             /usr/local/share/a2ps/sheets
             /usr/local/share/a2ps/ps
             /usr/local/share/a2ps/encoding
             /usr/local/share/a2ps/afm
             /usr/local/share/a2ps/printers
             /usr/local/share/a2ps

   You may change this default path through the configuration files
(Note: Your Library Path).

   If you plan to define yourself some files for a2ps, they should be in
one of those directories.
