This program takes an Edpage page file, finds the positions of any ITFs and
merges them.
It reads a COPY of the PIL file in the input queue, searches the file for valid
ITF, searches the ITF storage queue for the name of the ITF and merges them all
into one big file for an ITF driver to process.
Input parameters are (optional - spooling is default):
Either
-1 : single filename/path default: spooled
single shot then stop
input file is NOT deleted
output file is same name in output queue
Or -i : input queue default: spool/posnin
Optional :
-o : output queue for pages default: spool/posnpages
ie for data extracted from the PIL page files
The filename is (date).(section).(original Pil name)
-s : output queue for data default: spool/posndata
ie for data extracted from the itfs
-l : log every new file pls default: do NOT log
-d : do NOT delete all input files default: delete after use
-f : file wait in seconds default: none
This is the time it takes for the file to stop growing where
files are arriving across a slow network.
-t : sleep betwix scans of spooled queue.default: 5 secs
-P : Output file is PostScript flavour default: Quark
-Q : Output file is Quark flavour default: Quark
-v : print version no and exit
