To print Kylix Pascal source files, I recommend using a2ps. For your convenience, I wrote some a2ps style sheets for Kylix source and form files. Download the new style sheets (kylix.ssh and xfm.ssh), or get a combined diff. To apply the diff file, change to the sheets directory (usually /usr/share/a2ps/sheets), and run "patch < a2ps.diff". The patch will create the new style sheets and modify the master sheets.map file.

If you have any suggestions or corrections, please send email to kylix@tempest-sw.com. Please do not send technical questions about Kylix; instead post your questions to the Kylix newsgroups.
