RFC printing

I spent a freaking hour to figure out how to print RFC docs the way I like...

healing

• Remove all leading newlines except one (manually)

• perl -i -0pe 's/^L\sn*/^L/g' rfc959.txt

  • ^L is literal

enscripting

enscript \s-\s-margins=15:5:5:15 -f Courier@13/13 -B rfc959.txt -p rfc959.2up.ps -U 2

printing

/usr/local/bin/lpr rfc959.2up.ps

in the end

The output postscript file is larger then the preenscripted ones available at http://rfc.net, but my eyes like them better for a slightly larger font.
