===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
2COL is a compressed print utility that will print 4 (or even 8 pages)
on one side of a sheet of paper in 2 column format. It is intended for
dot matrix and deskjet printers. Make sure your internal printer switches
are set for Epson/Standard mode, not IBM mode. If your printer does not
have an Epson mode, you will probably need to use 17 char/inch (-W68). If
you have a front panel pitch selector on your printer, it must be set to
Program mode. If you are not sure about the front panel settings turn
your printer off and then on immediately before running 2COL. This should
reset the printer to program mode.
You might want to consult PRINTERS.TXT to determine the settings for your
printer model before attempting any printing with 2COL. Remember that if
you are running an inkjet or bubblejet in LQ mode you are simulating a 24
pin printer and need to use -Q.
