Project VII for LINUS/UNIX Class
Using ocelot.aul.fiu.edu or any UNIX based computer provided by FIU write a program in Bash Shell Script to generate the text in Postscript form. An example of suitable Postscript is shown here.
You are strongly advised to prepare your programs exclusively on a UNIX based computer.
Use the filter "ps2pdf" to convert your postscript to portable document format (PDF) given here. ps2pdf is in /usr/bin on ocelot.
Use the sed editing command 's/[()]/\\&/g' to deal with the brackets in the text.
Name the PDF file P7.pdf and place it in your public_html directory. Ensure it has permissions 755 so that it can be downloaded and viewed with an Acrobat Reader.
Submit a hardcopy printout of your program, the first and last pages of the postscript results, and the URL of your PDF file on November 10th, 2009.
Your submission should contain no unnecessary output, title pages, folders, envelopes etc.
You may not use text to postscript filters, or other programs that seek to trivialize the project in your implementation.
No part of your program may be written in C, C++, JAVA or similar such languages.
