NAME
     genppdtemplate - Extract PPD strings as X11 resources

SYNOPSIS
     genppdtemplate <ppd file>

DESCRIPTION
     genppdtemplate is filter which extracts strings from Adobe PPD files.
     The strings extracted are those which are visible on the option panel of
     the Impressario PPD printer configuration dialog
     (impressario_ppd_model.gui).  The strings are extracted to the standard
     output formatted as X11 resource file entries.

     Three kinds of strings are extracted.  These include PPD user interface
     item nicknames, PPD user interface option nicknames, and the tags that
     are specified by the tags property of numeric items.  Numeric items are a
     proprietary SGI PPD syntax extension.

     The output of genppdtemplate is intended for localized versions of the
     X11 resource files used with impressario_ppd_model.gui.

     NOTE: All fields that are displayed as "(NULL)" should be manually edited
     (the ppd file may not contain enough information to fill out all fields).
