- ║ TheRef(tm) Version 4.30 (TheRef43.ZIP) 1 ║
- ╠══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣
- ║ Good Grief!...Has it really been that long since 4.21 hit ║
- ║ the streets? OK, so I've had it easy for too long! So here ║
- ║ we are, a new version going out the door. Lots of little ║
- ║ changes to make TheRef(tm) better. I'd still like to hear any ║
- ║ suggestions, and even any gripes! Tell me what you want, or ║
- ║ what you think I did right or wrong. How can it be improved? ║
- ║ There are a LOT of drives and Controllers out there that I ║
- ║ don't have listed... Do you have the manual or the data sheet ║
- ║ for any? That info may never get entered without your help! ║
- ║ A few people have contributed to TheRef(tm) by sending info ║
- ║ and they are listed on the Contributors Page. ║

- ║ ──< PRINTING >── ║
- ║ ║
- ║ Portrait: If have a Laserjet II, please verify that it is ║
- ║ set to graphics mode. This is internal font #01 ║
- ║ or #02. If you have a Laserjet IID, use internal font #24. ║
- ║ These settings will give excellent results with the standard ║
- ║ page length of 60 lines. ║
- ║ If you have a Dot-Matrix printer, it will default to 66 ║
- ║ lines per page. However, you may have to set it to graphics ║
- ║ mode at the command line. Since this varies from printer to ║
- ║ printer, you should consult your owner's manual for guidance. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ Landscape: If you have a Laserjet II please verify that it ║
- ║ is set to graphics mode. Since a compressed ║
- ║ font is required, choose internal font #21, or #22. Also you ║
- ║ must reset the page length to 73 lines. (16.6 pitch, 8.5 point ║
- ║ size). For the Laserjet IID, use internal font #27. ║
- ║ If you have a Dot-Matrix printer, you will have to use a ║
- ║ Sideways(tm) type printing utility. Select a letter size of ║
- ║ 4x11 matrix ("very tiny" in Sideways) that equates to a 73 ║
- ║ line page. You may also want to select "doublestrike" to ║
- ║ enhance the readability. ║
- ║ A new addition to TheRef(tm) comes from Steven Case. He has ║
- ║ provided 3 files that will automatically set up a Laserjet or ║
- ║ QMS PostScript printer for Portrait or Landscape mode for ║
- ║ making a hardcopy of TheRef(tm). Steven's instructions are ║
- ║ included in LAYOUTS.ZIP as the README file. :) -bob- ║

- ║ I still had a lot of information to put into this version, ║
- ║ but it had to go to the presses, so they say. Hopefully, I'll ║
- ║ get an update out while the weather is warm. ║
- ║ By the next version I hope to be able to list an FTP site ║
- ║ and an Internet Email address where I can be contacted, and ║
- ║ where TheRef(tm) can be obtained. -bob- ║
