ps18xx -- PostScript Maps for 18xx Games
ps18xx lets you generate tile lists and maps for several 18xx style
games in the PostScript format. New tiles and tokens are laid on the
map by adding line by line to a file.
To print these maps you need a PostScript capable printer (or a
"converter" like ghostscript). To view the maps on the screen, you
need Display PostScript or a PostScript Viewer like GSView or
GhostView (You can find GSView
for Windows, Aladdin
GhostScript Sources and GhostView
for Unix and on our local FTP server -- or have a look at the Ghostscript Home Page).
The available maps are:
- 1825u1 - South Britain (Unit 1)
- 1829n - North Britain
- 1829s - South Britain
- 1830 - NorthEast US
- 1830R - NorthEast US (Reading variant)

ps18xx is "postcard ware". If you use this code or part of this,
you are invited to send me a nice railway postcard to the address below.
In October 1995 I received the first card :-)
