===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
BOOKLET is designed to create PC Booklet sized documents from full page
text files on Laser Printers which emulate the Hewlett- Packard LaserJet
series. It prints four pages of the text file on one sheet of paper.
The pages are printed "two thirds size" on the right and left halves of
both sides of a sheet of paper turned sideways (Landscape orientation.)
It supports all the standard sizes of paper (A4, LETTER, LEGAL, and
EXECUTIVE)
BOOKLET will perform transformation on basic LaserJet formatting
commands. This means that you can use your word processor to print a
formatted document to a file and use BOOKLET to print that file in
booklet form. For this to be successful, you must have fonts loaded in
your printer for the sizes BOOKLET will use. These can be from a font
cartridge or may be soft fonts which you have loaded ahead of running
BOOKLET. BOOKLET does not create or load any fonts. You will need
fonts which are approximately two thirds the point size of the fonts you
use in your document.
The BOOKLET Document has been formatted for LaserJet printers so it is
not easy to read on a computer screen. You may need to supply one or
more parameters to BOOKLET. The size of paper you are using is required
if it is not LETTER. This will be either /S:A4 for the European
standard paper or /S:LETTER for US 8.5x11 inch paper.
A second parameter is needed if you are using the Multi-Purpose tray on
an HP LaserJet IIP or LaserJet IIIP and your output is going to the
normal stacker tray. This parameter, /K:MP causes the order of printing
to accommodate the way these printers take paper from the MP tray. Your
command line would look as follows:
BOOKLET /S:LETTER /K:MP
If you are using the front output tray, use the /K:DJ parameter in
place of the /K:MP parameter.
For the HP DeskJet series you will need to add two parameters. Add /K:DJ
/AS:9,1.5 to cause the printing order to match the way the DeskJets feed
paper and to tell BOOKLET about the extra unprintable margin these
printers have. Your command line would look as follows:
BOOKLET /S:LETTER /K:DJ /AS:9,1.5
If you have a printer other than the above which stacks its output with
the printing up you will need /K:INVERTED as a second parameter. Your
command line would look as follows:
BOOKLET /S:LETTER /K:INVERTED
When you are prompted to load the pages for the second side, place the
pages face down (as they came out of the printer) in the source paper
tray. (Unless you are using the Multi-purpose tray. In that case, the
pages should be face up.)
BOOKLET is distributed as shareware.
Shareware is commercial software distributed in an unconventional
manner. Shareware isn't free. If you use it regularly, the authors
expect compensation. Shareware allows you to evaluate the product
before you purchase it. If you use this product, you are obliged to
register it.
Copies of BOOKLET may be freely distributed in its Zip File form
(BOOKLT.ZIP.) No fee, charge or other compensation may be accepted for
the distribution of BOOKLET. Except, Public Domain Disk Vendors and
BBS(s) may charge a nominal fee for distribution of the program. Such
charges must clearly be labelled distribution charges and the recipient
of BOOKLET must be informed that the distribution fee does not relieve
the payment of the registration fee for BOOKLET.
The BOOKLET files consist of:
BOOKLET.EXE The BOOKLET program
BOOKLET.PCL The BOOKLET document
REGISTER.FRM The BOOKLET registration form
You may register your copy of BOOKLET directly with Sympathetic Software
by sending a completed copy of the enclosed order form. You may also

This program is produced by a member of the Association of
Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the
shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a
shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member
directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you
resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide
technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP
Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442-9427 or send a
Compuserve message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.
The Ombudsman may be contacted by FAX by sending to the ASP FAX
number: (616) 788-2765. In communications with the Ombudsman please
include a telephone number and/or FAX if available.
