.SH SYNOPSIS

.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Impress
reads each metafile
.I file
in sequence and converts it to output suitable for the imagen
line of printers.
If the option
.I c
is specified, the input files are only conditioned for output, ie.
expanded (see pexpand).
This is useful if many copies of the same output is desired.
If the option
.I r
is instead specified, the input is assumed already to be conditioned.
If no input files are specified, the standard input is read.
.TP 10n
.BR \-c
Condition the input only.
.TP
.BR \-r
Input is already conditioned, output only.
