What others think

I'm having trouble finding this command. It's not on my system or a package in my repository (Gentoo), and I haven't yet found any relevant google results (looking at more, less, over). Where did you get it?

Comment by chickenkiller 167 weeks and 1 day ago

yum install enscript

or

apt-get install enscript

why not just just use vim?

Comment by kba 167 weeks and 1 day ago

vim is another way to do it, but I am saying that it is not the only way.

Comment by haivu 167 weeks and 1 day ago

Pretty prints, but doesn't do colored syntax highlighting.
