History for pykotme

changed:
-
'pykotme' allows end users to know the cost of a print job in advance.

For 'pykotme' a print job is made of all datas read from its standard input,  to which are added all datas read from filenames passed on its command line.

By default, 'pykotme' will compute the cost of the print job on all printers present in PyKota's DataBase, but you can restrict this to only a subset of these printers by using the '--printer' (or '-P') command line
option. This option accept one or more printers names as its arguments, separated with commas. As usual,
wildcards are accepted as well.

For example, the command 'pykotme --printer "HP*","Xe*",Staff myfile.pclxl mypicture.tiff <anotherfile.dvi'
will compute the costs of a print job made of 'myfile.pclxl', 'mypicture.tiff' and 'anotherfile.dvi' when
printed on any printer which name begins with 'HP' or 'Xe' or which is 'Staff', and will display the results.

You can make the functionnalities of 'pykotme' available through the web by installing the "pykotme.cgi":pykotme.cgi
CGI script on your web server.
