***********************

ppaSet is a set of tools used to help configuring you PPA printer, as part
of the pnm2ppa project.

PPA (Pretty Performance Architecture) is a protocol developed by HP to
manufacture cheap printers (so called winprinters, as HP only provides
drivers for Windows(TM)).

pnm2ppa project tries to make software so that those PPA printers could be
used in other operative systems (in the moment of writting this, Linux, *BSD
and BeOS are supported)... in short: a filter to translate PNM files
(produced by Ghostscript from PostScript source) to the PPA protocol.

ppaSet is a set of tools to help configuring that software:
-ppaSetBase is a "library" providing funtions to read and parse
configuration file and create them. It also provides some services to help
calibrating and testing the printer.
-A set of scripts are provided to: the input filter, for the BSD LPD
spooling mechanism, an installation script, getHome (just returns the HOME
of the given user),...
-gPpaSet is a GTK front-end to use the ppaSetBase library.
-nPpaSet is an ncurses front-end to use the ppaSetBase library.
(somebody must someday code front-ends for QT(KDE), Atena/Xt,... but I'm not
doing).
