- ReadMe for !OnePrint
- --------------------
-
- Double clicking on the !OnePrint icon will load it onto the icon
- bar. Clicking on the icon will then open two windows. In one
- you may enter, load and save text. In the other you may set the
- printer type style, and left and right margins. Make sure that
- you have selected your printer on the menu, then when you press
- 'Print', the text is printed. As many lines as shown on the
- screen are printed. Size the window to print more or less lines.
-
-
- What is !OnePrint for?
- ----------------------
-
- * !OnePrint is a utility for printing that odd bit of
- text that you can't be bothered to load the word processor
- for. It allows easy control of your printers type style, and
- position of print in the x direction. I use it to print the
- occassional address label, dragging the marked address block
- from any editor on to the !OnePrint window. Then set the
- style and the left margin for the label position and press
- 'Print'.
-
- * !OnePrint has a built in test page to help you compare the
- quality of output and the print styles of printers.
-
- * !OnePrint is written in structured, readable, commented
- BASIC. In particular it is an example of how application to
- application communication can be programmed, either via
- disk or RAM.
-
- * !OnePrint is supplied configured for Star NL10, Epson and
- Cannon BJ printers. You may add you own printer by editing
- the BASIC source.
-
-
- Why did I give it to you?
- -------------------------
-
- Well, it is really an advert. Ivoryash currently have the
- following two products that may be purchased from the address
- below.
-
- * Multitasking Serial Link - Archimedes to BBC micro.
-
- The multitasking serial link enables files to be transfered between
- the Archimedes computer and the BBC micro. The link software installs
- itself on the Archimedes icon bar, just as though an additional drive
- was installed. Clicking on the BBC icon lists all the BBC files in
- a directory viewer. The files are shown with approximated file types,
- together with any other directories.
-
- Transfer of files between the machines is then a simple matter of
- dragging an icon from the BBC directory viewer, to the directory
- viewer on the Archimedes. This allows very easy transfer of files,
- or groups of files between the two machines. The link also allows the
- transfer of files directly to applications eg !Edit and !Pipedream.
-
- The link is fully RISC OS multitasking, allowing it to remain on
- the icon bar for use whenever it is required. It is compatible with
- BBC B or BBC Master micros fitted with either DFS or ADFS filing
- systems. It is compatible with all Archimedes machines, although
- the A3000 will need the optional serial link fitting.
-
- Software only £9 (includes Post and VAT 17.5%)
- Software plus 1.5m serial lead £20
-
- * Multitasking Teletext display for Morley teletext adaptor.
-
- The multitasking teletext display is for use with the Morley
- Electronics Teletext adapter, connected to any Acorn Archimedes
- computer. Other teletext adapters are not supported.
-
- Using the multitasking teletext display means that you can see
- Oracle and Ceefax in a window on the RISC OS desktop. This is an
- ideal arrangement as it allows you to continue with other computer
- work while the pages you wish to see are searched for.
-
- The software is mouse controlled. To select another page you
- simply point the mouse at the page number, and click. Mouse
- selection may also be used on the four fasttext buttons at the
- bottom of the screen.
-
- As well as the usual teletext features of 'hold' and 'reveal',
- the software features a 10 page memory. This allows you to review
- any of the last 10 pages received.
-
- You may save the teletext page to either a file, or drag it
- directly onto an application for inclusion in a document or letter.
- Stored files may be dragged back onto the !Teletext software for
- redisplay or printing at a later date.
-
- Software £15 (includes post and VAT 17.5%)
