-----------------------------------
7050/0865 File Printing Programs #1 Small Programs Disk
-----------------------------------
Aprint 1.0
Metro Consulting Group, Inc.
$10
prints files which originated from mainframes and which contain ANSI
control codes. (The authors can no longer be reached at the address
provided in the documentation.)
Both 3
Feldmann, Peter F.
$20
allows printing text files on both sides of the paper by printing all the odd
pages, letting you turn the paper over, and then printing the even pages. Some
formatting of unformatted text files can also be done.
CPrint
Doman, Daniel
$0
is designed to print out files that have not been formatted for printing
already. That is, they lack page breaks and other niceities.
Documentation Formatter (DOCFORM)
Pakin, Scott
$0
makes it easy to generate well formatted program documentation with boldface
print, underlined print, margins, double or triple spacing, headers, and
footers. It should work with almost every printer.
DocMaster (DOCMAST)
Anderson, Pat
$?
is a set of tools for printing documentation files whether unformatted (ie:
no page breaks and headers), formatted with embedded formfeeds or with blank
lines.
Form
Tauck, Eric
$?
is a text file formatting/printing program. Including printing alternate
pages only, printing a specified number of pages, starting with a specified
page, allowing various forms of page recognition, many options for dealing
with blank spaces and tabs, conversion to uppercase, lower case, or first
letter caps, using or ignoring EOF marker on input/output, and more.
LP14
Buerg, Vernon
$0
prints an ASCII file on a standard printer device at either 66 or 88 lines per
page. A title is printed at the top of each page which contains the file
name, creation date, and page number.
Multi-Print 4.0 (MPRINT)
Doyan, Gerald P. ASP
$15
is a file printing program. A pull down directory listing allows you to add a
document to the queue on the fly. Several printer font styles and Laser
printer compatibility have been added. You can `zoom' the text view window so
that more of your documents text can be seen. It also allows you to print on
both sides of paper. Support for printers configured as LPT2, LPT3, etc, has
been added. DESQview compatibility is also provided.
PageBrk
Kuhn, Bill
$?
prints a file of continuous text (ie: not broken up into pages), adding a
form feed every 55 lines and adding blank lines and, optionally, a header and
page numbers to the top of each page. While some large file-printing
utilities in the library will do this and a lot more, this one is small and
simple.

DocSmash 3.3 (DOCSMAS)
Rettger, David W.
$10
will reduce the size of the printed output of any text or document file. It
uses Epson control codes to reduce the print size and adjust line width to
enable the printer to place four pages of normal documentation on a single
sheet of paper. Other features includes user controlled word wrap; no
truncating of print that is too wide for a single line; and progress reports
during printing. Other printers are supported in addition to Epsons.
NRO
is a file formatting and printing utility.
PP
is a file printer with the following options: print a header on each page
with filename, date, time and page number; specify number of lines to print
per page; add line numbers; expand tabs to a specified number of spaces; set
page width; and print multiple files.
PR
is a public domain file printing utility with numerous options:
multi-column output, line wrap, page headers, line indenting, print more than
one file on a page (each in in its own column - handy for newsletters), line
numbering, print to a file, pause for paper change, specify page width, ignore
unprintable characters and strip high-order bits, and more.
PrnPart
Bennett, David
$0
will let you print specific pages of a text file without having to print the
whole file. It defines a page as being either 66 consecutive lines or a
formfeed, whichever comes first. (The documentation says "linefeed", but
we're pretty sure he means "formfeed".)
QuickPrint 3.0 (QPRINT)
DeRose, Joseph L.
$0
is a text file viewing and printing utility. It starts by displaying a list of
files. When you select one, it lets you scroll through it on the screen. If
you elect to print it, QP tells you how many pages are to be printed and
displays a progress bar while printing, as well as the page number being sent
to the printer.
QP will automatically paginate and add page numbers for unformatted files. You
can tag files for printing several in a row. Also included is the ability to
print with line numbers; the ability to change lines printed per page; and to
display the time in the page footer.
SmallDoc (SMALLDO)
Roper, David
$0
makes "small" pages of ASCII "doc"umentation. ".DOC" and ".TXT" files that
accompany the Shareware/PD programs and to produce a small-sized document that
will fit in the three ring notebooks which are the same size as the IBM Basic
book or many of the other same size small book/slip cover sets. SMALLDOC
provides the lines to cut on and marks the positions where to punch the three
holes. For document files that are already formatted, SMALLDOC simply reduces
the size and adds the margin on the left side for the holes to be punched.
Super Print 2.70 (SUPER-P)
Margison, Steven E. ASP
$10
will print one or more files performing, by default, a form feed every 64
lines, and perform no other processing. However, an extensive command line
option set will also let you add line numbering, page headings, time and date,
extra form feed at the end of each file, slashed zeros, and left margin
settings.
Other options are to pause at each page for paper change, override automatic
form feed, specify beginning and ending pages to print and number of copies to
print. There is also a "typewriter" mode for entering text directly form the
keyboard. A translation feature allows a user to substitute different
characters for those in the source file. This allows you to print a file with
extended ASCII characters on a printer which does not have that support.
TinyList (TINYLST)
allows printing of text files on a minimum of paper using superscripted and
condensed print. A standard 8.5 by 11 inch piece of paper can hold almost 20K
of text. Turbo Pascal source is provided for modification for most printers.
TPrint
is a flexible text file printing program which allows selected portions of
your file to be listed. TPRINT is command-line driven and provides you with
on-line help so that the utility can be used without refering back to the
manual. TPRINT also provides for multiple copies and single-sheet feeding.
TT-2
RPSoft
$25
is a set of three text processing tools for the IBM PC. The first one, PRNT2,
produces listings of all files matching one or more file descriptors. The
program MAIL.BAS allows custom letters to be generated from a file of names
and addresses. XUP creates multiple columns from a single column of data.
The user may select the number of columns, width of columns and the number of
lines per page.
