====================================
PrtCheaper 36.4 (29.4.94)
Copyright (c) 1994 Ralph Seichter.
All rights reserved.
====================================
PURPOSE:
I decided to program PrtCheaper because I wanted to reduce the
amount of wasted printer paper when printing simple text files. A
"simple" file is a file which contains any number of pages, optionally
seperated by standard form feed control codes (0x0C). I use PrtCheaper
to print the odd numbered pages first, then feed the printed output to
my HP DeskJet printer again (upside down), and finally print the even
numbered pages. I hate wasting paper, as this is extremly nasty with
respect to our environment (and it is costly).
TEMPLATE:
PrtCheaper From/A, To, FP=FirstPage/K/N, LP=LastPage/K/N,
PL=PageLength/K/N, IN=Indent/K/N, OP=OddPages/S,
EP=EvenPages/S, NFF=NoFormFeed/S, HD=Header/S, Quiet/S
FROM is the source file to print, TO is the output file (defaults
to PRT:). FIRSTPAGE and LASTPAGE define the first and last page to be
printed, respectively. ODDPAGES and EVENPAGES can be used to output
only odd (even) numbered pages. PAGELENGTH can be used to override the
preferences settings, which will be used by default. INDENT sets the
number of blanks before each line of text (defaults to 0). NOFORMFEED
surpresses the form feed code printed after each page. The HEADER
option prints "Page <n> of file <name>" at the beginning of each page.
QUIET disables all output.
REQUIREMENTS:
PrtCheaper requires Kickstart 37.175 (OS 2.04) or better, and will
run on any Amiga platform.

HISTORY:
V36.1 Initial release.
V36.2 Added automatic printer.device query for page length, form
feed codes are no longer vital to operation.
V36.3 Earlier versions didn't respond to a user break, fixed. The
overall code size was reduced.
V36.4 Completely new printing routine. New command template, two
additions (line indeting and page headers).
