HOWTO

# GNU enscript
# ============
# I include two versions below.  The latest stable release, which is 7 years
# old (as I write this) and the latest beta release.  The site holding the
# beta release seems to have gone away and not sprung up elsewhere.  In the
# mean time, I'll keep the beta available for download from me.

# GNU enscript 1.6.1 (last full release - released Jul 6, 1998)
# ==================
# If ftp.gnu.org is busy, try ibiblio instead
