Release History
2.1 08/08/90 Substantially increased Dot matrix and custom init/
reset string support. Added modes /FB[P,S], /FI[A,P,S]
/I2 and /X. Added /Z parameter. Converted all code to
object oriented methodology <finally!!>.
2.0 07/02/90 Introduced modes: /CN, C3, C4. LsrPrint now displays
the options in effect during each run (or after the
help message). Includes LsReset and Chuck programs.
Redirect functions on any ASCII text file (also replaces
Tabs with spaces).
1.8c 06/21/90 This is a test version distributed to friends and
"family" only. It contains the following enhancements:
EOL Treatment : the /E parameter
Mainframe Print file conversion : the /FBA parameter.
1.7 05/29/90 General release. Time String on header now is
zero filled (i.e. 12:01:30 instead of 12:1:30).
Writing to screen is now done through DOS and not
directly to video memory. LsrPrint now will run on
virtually all weird iron, in multitasker windows,
and allows redirection of the normal screen output to
a file (via DOS > redirector). Added O option (send
print output to a file) and redirect.exe.
1.6 05/21/90 Added D (Dos Services) option. Improved code around
error detection. LsrPrint waited a little too patiently
for your printer (sometimes forever). Corrected C2
init string (IBM US was not being set as default
font). This release was sent only as a Beta to a
few people.
1.5 05/15/90 C2 option did not work properly on HP P and D models
due to incorrect init string. Modified init string
(see above) to set top margin prior to setting page
length. C2 now works properly across HP laser line
(and compatibles). Improved code around the job
cancellation function (Escape Key).
1.4 05/10/90 C2 display changed to "Page" type display (looks great).
C2 defaults for W and L changed to W80 and L66. M option
disabled for C2 mode. Changed fundamental method in which
data was transmitted to printer (Rom Bios Int 17). Error
detection is improved when writing to a parallel port.
As long as your PC is sort of IBM-PC compatible everything
should be fine. This program was tested on older clone
machines not known for their compatibility as well as
using a serial port via a print director. Added /S
customization options (See Text for More).
1.3 05/02/90 C2 parameter added. Changed defaults to NP from CP and
Tab Expansion to 8. This seems to be the preferred
default. (I prefer /C2 /T4 as my defaults).
Corrected some default /W parameters. Changed Header.
1.2 04/23/90 Bugfix. It's amazing what test data doesn't catch.
The 1.1 Ascii 12 fix had some side effects, including
not properly counting lines. The header will now
appear on the top of the printed form. Page ejects
will occur at the proper place.
1.1 04/17/90 Properly supports the Form Feed (Ascii 12) character
when printing forms. Page counts via /# parameter
include Ascii 12 counts.
1.0 04/13/90 Original Release
