- freely as long as it is never distributed with or as a commercial product,

-
- This is a simple utility I created for my personal/work use. I have cleaned
- it up somewhat and it seems to be fairly reliable. Use it at your own risk.
- Feel free to offer suggestions or report bugs. I may chose to enhance/fix
- the utility, or I may not.
-
- The program takes no parameters. It merely searches the default directory
- for all .PCC and .PCX files, sorts the names and produces a printed
- catalog on any HP Laserjet II/III or compatible. Graphics are scaled to fit
- 16 per page, 4 across and 4 down. The name of the file is printed underneath
- each picture.
-
- Only black & white PCX/PCC files work correctly - color files may print but
- may not look right. To load and scale the graphics, the program first uses
- EMS memory, if available. If not, it tries to use conventional memory (some
- of the 640k accessible by MS-DOS). If not enough memory is available between
- these two methods, it reverts to a "virtual memory" scheme that uses disk
- space. This is a nifty feature - and works quite nicely, but by nature is
- much slower than direct memory access.
-
- Hope this utility can be of help to others ...
