Hello!
This is version 3.2 of FOLD-and-PRINT. This program allows printing an ASCII
text in multi-column fashion on (probably) any line printer. Odd, even,
selected pages can be printed and user defined headers/footers can be used.
Line breaking, truncating, breaking with word wrap is possible. You can
prepare printouts to be used in a binder. Many other features are possible
and are described in the manual.
All necessary information on using and configuring FOLD-and-PRINT are included
in the manual file FOLD.DOC. Some less important information are in the
appendix FOLDADD.DOC. Please read the manual before you start using this
software.
If you hate very much reading manuals run 'FOLD -? | MORE' for the help screen.
Please note however that the help screen will not tell you how to configure
FOLD-and-PRINT for your printer, and you will have to configure
FOLD-and-PRINT, if you printer is not ESC/P compatible (ie. cannot emulate
some Epson printers).
The package should contain the following files:
FOLD.EXE the program itself
FOLD.DOC the manual, read if you are new to FOLD-and-PRINT
FOLDADD.DOC the addendum to the manual
DEFAULT.P the default configuration file (a copy of SMALL.P)
DENSE.P cfg file for ESC/P or IBM printers (condensed pitch)
SMALL.P cfg file for ESC/P printers (condensed Elite pitch)
TINY.P cfg file for ESC/P printers (as above, script size)
PLAIN.P cfg file for reformatting ASCII texts (no prn codes)
README this file
If you distribute FOLD-and-PRINT, please don't change the original archive
contents.
If you are familiar with version 3.x, see FOLDADD.DOC for a list of changes
(see subsection entitled 'VERSION 3.2'). Please note that there are many
changes, including command-line logic, options names, and cfg file format.
This program is free, but if you like it and use it, you are strongly
encouraged to send me some money or something. See FOLDADD.DOC for details.
PS. Here you have what the users wrote about earlier versions of this program:
I downloaded Fold-and-Print Version 3.1 from a local BBS last night.
It looks GREAT!
I've just been playing with your fold program (v3.1) and I thought I
just drop you a line to say that I am impressed. I shall be
recommending your program to collegues, too.
...an excellent program - especially with the -x option. (...) I
shall be making heavy use of this program.
I have downloaded your program fold30.zip from WSMR-SIMTEL20.Army.Mil
and I was surprised how good it works!
...I had just unzipped the file and I printed the fold.doc with my
old IBM Proprinter. It is unbeliveable how easy it works (...) now I
want to give this program to other friends...
...I'm using the program regularly, and it has lived up to my
highest expectations.
...I think that your Fold N' Print program is excellent.
