epcol Files

To install a deb version of the epcol software, download the deb version
desired to some folder on your local computer.  The three checksums in the
release readme verify your download is error free.  Open a terminal window by
selecting menu->all applications->system tools->terminal.  Go to the location
where you downloaded the deb version of epcol (e.g., Downloads) by typing
"cd Downloads" in the terminal window.  Typing the following installs epcol on
your system:
	sudo apt install gdebi
	sudo gdebi ./epcol_1.1.0_amd64.deb
where 1.1.0_amd64 is version_arch for the latest version 1.1.0 and amd64 is
for amd64 architecture machines (most pcs although arch is armhf for raspberry
pi machines).  When you do this, you must be logged in as the primary user on
the system and you must enter the primary user login password when prompted
to do so.

Version 1.1.0 is the initial release of epcol for 64bit environments.  Actually,
this application has been in use with few alterations for two decades by the
author.  It works nicely.  Version 1.2.0 adds support for newer ESC-P2 printers
that have additional builtin fonts (e.g., prestige) by added .ep macros for
invoking those fonts and by more parameters for the -style option to invoke
those fonts on the command line.

Read the man page by the command "man ./epcol.1" or by "cat epcol.man".
