ClipNfile for Windows
We run across all kinds of useful information in Cyberspace every day. The
problem is saving the data in an organized way so that we can find it again when
we need it. This is why I wrote ClipNfile.
ClipNfile allows you to set up storage folders for many different subjects
(URLs, Finance, Medicine, Software, etc). You can also create subtopics. When
you run across information you want to save, you need only select the folder
button for the correct subject and then copy the information from the program
you are currently using (Web browser, mail reader, etc) to the clipboard. The
information is then automatically appended to the appropriate file. When you
need to find the information someday, you know exactly where to look. You can
also print these files of organized information with 2COL or JETCOL.
You can make the ClipNfile window stay on top of other windows for easy topic
selection and can add your own comment whenever an item is saved. You can use
this comment as a key when you search for the information later. You can also
add, remove and rename topic buttons easily. There is no limit to the number of
topic buttons you can create although it is recommended for best organization
to keep the buttons to less than 20.
ClipNfile costs $15 plus $5 S&H, or $15 total with 2COL or JETCOL. SWREG #9642

2MENU
2MENU is a 2COL and JETCOL interface for use with Microsoft Windows 3.1 or
higher.
It provides an easy to use Windows interface and gives you the choice of either
fast DOS text mode printing or professional quality TrueType printing using
Windows Print Manager. 2MENU has a unique font control algorithm which optmizes
the readability of multicolumn printing. Allows landscape as well as portrait
on all Windows compatible printers.
2MENU allows you to:
View, set, and save an unlimited number of printing option profiles.
Select files to print from a menu
Drag and drop files to print from File Manager
View/edit files before printing.
Truetype Preview WYSIWYG feature allows you to create the exact document
appearance you want prior to printing.
Built in editor allows file portions to be modified or deleted before
printing. A large number of excerpts can be built up on the clipboard before
printing. This saves printing unnecessary text.
Import text for printing from other applications via the clipboard.
Print directly from clipboard or edit/excerpt clipboard before printing.
Autoclip feature automatically collects excerpts copied to the clipboard from
other applications and prints them all as one document. Great for printing HLP
files.
Print in background while viewing/editing another file or using another program.
Prints WFW,WFD,WP,AMI-PRO,WS,WRI,HTML files using Malcolm Drury's VIEW (included
on disk) as a format converter.
This is not a stand alone program. It requires 2COL or JETCOL.
Price: $15+$3S&H. ($8 when ordered with 2COL/JETCOL) Compuserve: SWREG-1971
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2COL
2COL prints two columns, each 80 characters wide, on a standard sheet of paper.
Most dot-matrix, inkjet and DeskJet printers are supported. By suppressing
unnecessary blank lines and ignoring page breaks, 2COL is able to use a larger
font while averageing approximately 4 pages on one side of a sheet than other
compressed print programs. By using standard draft mode, 2COL prints faster and
more readably than other programs which rely on subscript or graphics mode. 2COL
will optionally print an exact number of pages/column retaining original
formatting.
2COL is ideal for printing reference material (such as shareware manuals) and
word processing drafts. It saves paper and storage space. By putting more
information on less paper, 2COL saves you money when faxing or mailing.
2COL will optionally print in subscript mode, putting almost 8 pages on one side
of a sheet of paper. By using 2COL's two-sided printing option, almost 16 pages
of information can be printed on a single sheet of paper.
The program has been designed to be easy to use, even for the novice. It comes
with a demo/tutorial which demonstrates most of the printing options and shows
how to use them.
NEW FEATURES:
Booklet/Pamphlet printing allows you to create professional looking manuals
on most modern printers when used with the 2MENU Windows interface and TrueType
fonts.
2COL will now print from 1-6 columns with column widths from 20 to 160
characters. This is useful for printing labels and lists as well as
printing wider documents such as source code listings on wide-carriage or
some landscape-mode capable printers.
Proportional fonts are now also supported.
Prints landscape mode on Deskjet in addition to portrait.
Wordwrapping and filtering functions have been added for printing wordprocessor
formats (such as .WRI, Word, Wordstar, and WP Generic documents).
Now also reformats to widen or shrink document width. Particularly useful for 17
char/inch printers or for people who have trouble reading 20 char/inch print.
Prints pages in reverse order to eliminate paper shuffling with sheet feed
printers: Deskjets, Inkjets..etc. Particularly useful when printing on both
sides
User defined initialization strings are now supported to select draft/LQ,
specific fonts, etc.
Macros available for printing directly from WordPerfect and WFW ($3 each).
Automatically adjusts line spacing to eliminate partly filled last pages.
OPTIONS:
* the number of lines/page to print
* the maximum number of consecutive blank lines to allow
* the column width
* whether to pause for single sheet feeding
* numbering each source and/or output page
* enable IBM graphics characters(dot matrix only)
* top margin, left margin settings
* print only odd/even pages - for two-sided printing
* to display total number of output pages before printing.
* to prescan the document and automatically optimize margins
* whether to automatically adjust line spacing to fill or
eliminate partial pages at end
* adjustment for different page length: A4, legal, etc.
* user specified initialzation string.
Hardware requirements: IBM compatible computer, 256K RAM, dot matrix
or DeskJet printer. While 2COL will run on 17 cpi printers, a
printer capable of 20 char/inch is best. For Epson FX,LQ,LX and many
IBM compatible dot matrix printers. All DeskJet models supported.
Other requirements: MS-DOS 3 or higher.
Price: $22.95 + $5 S&H (if an update disk is requested) Compuserve SWREG-1183
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JETCOL
Features are essentially the same as for 2COL above except that JETCOL is
intended for all HP compatible laser printers. The registered version of JETCOL
will now work with Deskjets and DJ compatible inkjets.
Now prints landscape mode as well as portrait mode.
JETCOL includes 10 specially designed soft fonts in graduated sizes which are
automatically selected according to the amount of compression desired.
The font pitch is automatically adjusted for maximum readability according to
the column width chosen. The variable font pitch always allows you to create a
margin regardless of document width.
A complete set of thin fonts is available for $10.
A complete set of European accented fonts (128-159) is also available for $10.
Price $32.95 + $3 S&H (if an update disk is requested). Compuserve SWREG-1196
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROFESSIONAL VERSIONS OF 2COL/JETCOL
2COL and JETCOL are available in professional versions, particularly useful for
lawyers, court reporters and programmers. These versions, in addition to
features described above print an alphabetized index of all the words in the
document with line and page numbers. Lists of common words (which can be edited)
to be automatically excluded (or included --"keywords") from the index are also
provided. These programs can print line numbers or use the line numbers already
imbedded in the document when generating the index listing. Footers can also be
specified for printing.
Price: 2COLP-$55, JETCOLP-$65.
