CONTROL Richard Kihlken
Purpose: Reads decimal values from the command line, and sends them to your
printer.
Format: [d:][path]CONTROL n [, n, n...]
Remarks: Many users like to configure their printers automatically from within
batch files, or on the fly at the DOS prompt. While its possible to
write lots of different COM files for each control code you want to
send, it's far easier to create one master print control program that
reads codes off the command line.
CONTROL.COM reads any decimal arguments you enter, and sends them to
your printer. You can use an legal delimiters between the numbers.
Example: To send a CHR$(12) form-feed, you'd simply type:
CONTROL 12
Or, to send an IBM Esc+G command to turn on double strike printing,
type:
CONTROL 27 71
Notes: Users familiar with using DEBUG can modify the default border, text,
and header colors of ASC.COM. These values, initially 0Fh, 1Fh, and
1Eh, respectively, are located at offsets 014D through 014F in the
.COM file. For use with a composite monochrome display, the values
70h, 07h, and 07h are suggested.
