 POSPRINT

 POSPRINT is a home-made applications which makes it possible to print plain
 ASCII-files on the Apple LaserWriter. The program will adjust the pointsize
 of the character font so that a text of any (user-specified) width will fit
 between the left and right side of the paper.


 Syntax: POSPRINT Filename Destination Width Orientation

    Where Filename : The full filename of the file to be printed. May include
                     Wild characters (* and ?).
          Destination : The print destination (the device to which the Apple
                        is connected on your PC), usually lpt1, lpt2 or lpt3.
          Width : The maximum column width you want to print. POSPRINT will
                  adjust the character-pointsize to be able to print exactly
                  that number of columns across a page.
          Orientation: The print orientation : Portrait (default) or Landscape.

  The relation between the width (number of characters) and the pointsize and
  the number of lines on a page is shown in the table below:

    ┌───────┬──────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────┐
    │       │         Landscape            │         Portrait            │
    ├───────┼────────────┬─────────────────┼───────────┬─────────────────┤
    │ Width │  Pointsize │ Number of lines │ Pointsize │ Number of lines │
    ├───────┼────────────┼─────────────────┼───────────┼─────────────────│
    │   10  │     124.9  │            3    │     86.9  │            7    │
    │   50  │      24.9  │           17    │     17.4  │           36    │
    │   80  │      15.6  │           27    │     10.9  │           58    │
    │  130  │       9.6  │           43    │      6.7  │           94    │
    │  255  │       4.9  │           87    │      3.4  │          189    │
    └───────┴────────────┴─────────────────┴───────────┴─────────────────┘

  There is one important limitation with regard to the printable characters:
  The Apple can only print the 126 first characters of the IBM characterset.
  The so-called IBM extended characters are thus not printable. This means that
  some foreign (= non USA) characters and-accents and the line-drawing characters
  are not available.
