-
- 2COL
-
- 2COL prints two columns, each 80 characters wide, on a standard sheet of paper.
- Most dot-matrix, inkjet and DeskJet printers are supported. By suppressing
- unnecessary blank lines and ignoring page breaks, 2COL is able to use a larger
- font while averageing approximately 4 pages on one side of a sheet than other
- compressed print programs. By using standard draft mode, 2COL prints faster and
- more readably than other programs which rely on subscript or graphics mode. 2COL
- will optionally print an exact number of pages/column retaining original
- formatting.
-
- 2COL is ideal for printing reference material (such as shareware manuals) and
- word processing drafts. It saves paper and storage space. By putting more
- information on less paper, 2COL saves you money when faxing or mailing.
-
- 2COL will optionally print in subscript mode, putting almost 8 pages on one side
- of a sheet of paper. By using 2COL's two-sided printing option, almost 16 pages
- of information can be printed on a single sheet of paper.
-
- The program has been designed to be easy to use, even for the novice. It comes
- with a demo/tutorial which demonstrates most of the printing options and shows
- how to use them.
-
- NEW FEATURES:
- 2COL will now print from 1-6 columns with column widths from 20 to 160
- characters. This is useful for printing labels and lists as well as
- printing wider documents such as source code listings on wide-carriage or
- some landscape-mode capable printers.
-
- Prints landscape mode on Deskjet in addition to portrait.
-
- Wordwrapping and filtering functions have been added for printing wordprocessor
- formats (such as .WRI, Word, Wordstar, and WP Generic documents).
-
- Now also reformats to widen or shrink document width. Particularly useful for 17
- char/inch printers or for people who have trouble reading 20 char/inch print.
-
- Prints pages in reverse order to eliminate paper shuffling with sheet feed
- printers: Deskjets, Inkjets..etc. Particularly useful when printing on both
- sides
-
- User defined initialization strings are now supported to select draft/LQ,
- specific fonts, etc.
-
- Macros available for printing directly from WordPerfect and WFW ($3 each).
-
- Automatically adjusts line spacing to eliminate partly filled last pages.
-
-
- OPTIONS:
- * the number of lines/page to print
- * the maximum number of consecutive blank lines to allow
- * the column width
- * whether to pause for single sheet feeding
- * numbering each source and/or output page
- * enable IBM graphics characters(dot matrix only)
- * top margin, left margin settings
- * print only odd/even pages - for two-sided printing
- * to display total number of output pages before printing.
- * to prescan the document and automatically optimize margins
- * whether to automatically adjust line spacing to fill or
- eliminate partial pages at end
- * adjustment for different page length: A4, legal, etc.
- * user specified initialzation string.
-
- Hardware requirements: IBM compatible computer, 256K RAM, dot matrix
- or DeskJet printer. While 2COL will run on 17 cpi printers, a
- printer capable of 20 char/inch is best. For Epson FX,LQ,LX and many
- IBM compatible dot matrix printers. All DeskJet models supported.
-
- Other requirements: MS-DOS 3 or higher.
-
- Price: $22.95 + $5 S&H (if an update disk is requested) Compuserve SWREG-1183

-
- JETCOL
-
- Features are essentially the same as for 2COL above except that JETCOL is
- intended for all HP compatible laser printers. The registered version of JETCOL
- will now work with Deskjets and DJ compatible inkjets.
-
- Now prints landscape mode as well as portrait mode.
-
- JETCOL includes 10 specially designed soft fonts in graduated sizes which are
- automatically selected according to the amount of compression desired.
-
- The font pitch is automatically adjusted for maximum readability according to
- the column width chosen. The variable font pitch always allows you to create a
- margin regardless of document width.
-
- A complete set of thin fonts is available for $10.
- A complete set of European accented fonts (128-159) is also available for $10.
-

- PROFESSIONAL VERSIONS OF 2COL/JETCOL
-
-
- 2COL and JETCOL are available in professional versions, particularly useful for
- lawyers, court reporters and programmers. These versions, in addition to
- features described above print an alphabetized index of all the words in the
- document with line and page numbers for every word. A list of common words
- (which can be edited) to reject from the index is also provided. These programs
- can print line numbers or use the line numbers already imbedded in the document
- when generating the index listing. Footers can also be specified for printing.
-
- Price: 2COLP-$55, JETCOLP-$65.
