I can understand your argument but it is very confusing for me
to say which is height and width especially in landscape mode.
For example "-l2" option gives us two landscape virtual pages
(with long width and short(low?) height) from top to bottom on a paper
with short width and long(high?) height (i.e. portrait oriented paper).
Is this landscape 1w x 2h ???
(I am afraid you can not understand my explanation ...)

Okay, I see your point.

Yes, short style "-abif" etc. are real option and long style "-abifont"
etc. are typos. I will fix them in Usage section.

A part of "-nl nlrate" is of original so it depends on the author
but I will contact with him later. I will fix a part
"spacing between lines (1.1)"
> 1.1 is an interesting default. I would think 1.0 would be the default.
On this poit I think in a same way as Steve Greenland pointed out
in his reply.

I see and fix this.

This may be too difficult for me.

Papyrus is very famous in Japan too because it is taught in a school
as a first paper which human beings used.

I see but I think it may be needed to check source and to modify
some part of it.

I will take your advices above but please note that in a field
"date(current time:Jun 29 1999 14:26:40)" a part
"Jun 29 1999 14:26:40" is real current date and time, that is
this part changes as you run "e2ps -h".
For example I do "e2ps -h" now then it displays like
-date string : date(current time:Jul 12 1999 09:04:56)
Isn't it good ?

There is a header by default. It consists of "date and time", "file name"
and "page number". I will fix "-head string" section.

I will try to contact with the author about this issue.
Thanks for your advices and also thanks all who advised me
by personal e-mail.
