PS interpreter - restore the flushpage operator

Michael Katzmann, working at the Library of Congress, is using
|
|
|
2796d4 |
Ghostscript in a custom application, which also involves a barcode
|
|
|
2796d4 |
reader and an SQL database.
|
|
|
2796d4 |
|
|
|

Currently this resides in an RPM at:
|
|
|

|
|
|
2796d4 |
http://engineering.nlsbph.org/repo/fedora/fedora/updates/27/SRPMS/AddressCard-3.17-LoC.fc27.src.rpm
|
|
|
2796d4 |
|
|
|
2796d4 |
but its not usable without the barcode reader and SQL database....
|
|
|
2796d4 |
For reasons which are not completely clear to me, he wants to use
|
|
|
2796d4 |
flushpage to update the display part way through the operation.
|
|
|
2796d4 |
|
|
|
2796d4 |
We suspect that it would be possible to avoid this, but it would
|
|
|
2796d4 |
probably require some programming effort on the users part, and since
|
|
|
2796d4 |
flushpage doesn't look like a likely candidate for abuse, we've decided
|
|
|
2796d4 |
just to restore it.
