[bug-enscript] GNU Enscript 1.6.5 released

I'm pleased to announce version 1.6.5 of GNU Enscript.

GNU Enscript is a free replacement for Adobe's enscript program.

GNU Enscript converts ASCII files to PostScript, HTML, or RTF and stores
generated output to a file or sends it directly to the printer. It
includes features for `pretty-printing' (language-sensitive code
highlighting) in several programming languages.

Enscript can be easily extended to handle different output media and it
has many options that can be used to customize printouts.
