+<p>GNU enscript is looking for a maintainer.  (See also <a
+href="/software/trueprint/">trueprint</a>.)  Here's the situation:
+Enscript implements the same basic idea as <a
+href="/software/a2ps/">a2ps</a>, namely convert plain text to
+PostScript&mdash;with the notable addition that enscript can also output
+HTML or RTF.  So one option would be to continue to maintain enscript on
+its own; that would be a big improvement over its current moribund
+state, and in that case mostly what's needed is merging patches,
+updating infrastructure, etc.
+
+<p>Another option for enscript's future, much more work although better
+in principle, would be to merge enscript's functionality into a2ps, so
+that we end up with just one package to maintain.  That is, ultimately
+enscript could be a simple shell script that maps enscript options to
+a2ps options.
+
+<p>If you have time and inclination to maintain enscript, please write
address@hidden
+
 <P>

 and stores generated output to a file
 or sends it directly to the printer.
 It includes features for `pretty-printing'
