DLST for OS/2
-------------
DLST allows fast printing of up to 334 lines on a single page using
a Hewlett-Packard Series II or compatible printer. This is ideal for long
program listings or documentation. Form feeds are ignored, tabs are expanded
to up to four spaces, and long sequences of blank lines are output as only
two blanks. Lines up to 180 characters in length are wrapped to a second
line, with a " ...." preceding the second line. The accompanying FONT1
soft font file must be used.
DLST is called by the command:
DLST <input-file> [output-file] [lines per column]
output-file defaults to PRN
lines per column defaults to the maximum of 168.
The FONT1 25cpi downloadable font is included with DLST in two
versions. The easiest method of downloading the font is to enter the
command:
COPY /b FONT1.DWN PRN
The FONT1.FNT file contains the soft font without header information;
use this file if you use another method of downloading fonts (make sure you
set the font to font ID #1 -- future versions will allow for more flex-
ibility).
DLST for OS/2 is a Microsoft C rewrite of David L. Peterson's "DLST"
program, which was written in Turbo Pascal for DOS. This program, like
Peterson's original, is placed in the public domain and may be freely
distributed as long as the program is not sold for profit.
Coming very soon: modifications for multiple filespecs, with various
grouping options, the full IBM graphics character set, and a choice of
landscape or portrait printing. Send any comments, questions, or sug-
gestions to:
