VERSION 3.3
-------------------------
o Corrected behavior of '/WHITE' command-line option when used
with either '/DUAL' or '/ODD' options. Whitespace will appear
about the gutter when specified with these two options. That
is whitespace is on the left on odd-numbered pages and on the
right on even-numbered pages.
o Minor code changes to support move to BORLAND C++ 3.1 compiler.
NO, it is still not C++ code!
VERSION 3.2
-------------------------
o Renamed the '/ANALYZE' command-line switch to '/TEST' which
seems to make a whole lot more sense. Version 3.1 never hit
the streets so this couldn't affect anyone.
VERSION 3.1
-------------------------
o Added the '/ANALYZE' command-line switch. This switch
cause CRAM to report an input file analysis as if it
was actually processing output CRAM files. This is useful
if you wish to test the given command-line switches without
actually generating the output files. This switch reports:
number of formfeeds found, number of CRAMmed pages that would
be generated, longest page (from formfeed to formfeed or EOF)
in the input file, and the longest line in the input file.
VERSION 3.0
-------------------------
o Added complete support of HP LASERJET printers. A six-point
softfont is provided for use. The font provided is my own
creation. It loads itself into HP font number 1006 (it's a
six point font, get it!). Simply issue the following command
to load the font.
COPY CRAM.SFT/B PRN
o CRAM command-line options may now be set via the DOS
environment variable, 'CRAM'. For example, the following
line placed in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file will configure CRAM
to respect formfeeds and generate output for the HPLJ.
SET CRAM=/HPLJ/FF
Any option can be specified in the environment variable.
o An output filename is no longer required. The resultant
output file will have the same input filename with the
extension '.CRM'. The exception is when odd/even or dual
page support is requested.
o Added support for automatic odd/even page generation. This
feature will automatically generate odd and even pages into
separate output files. For example, the following command
line would produce two-sided output.
CRAM CRAM.C /DUAL
This generates odd pages in CRAM.ODD and even pages in CRAM.EVN.
Each can be separately printed then.
o Added support for odd/even page generation. This feature
effectively provides two-sided operation for printers that
do not provide the functionality. For example, the following
command lines would produce two-sided output.
CRAM CRAM.C CRAM.ODD /ODD
CRAM CRAM.C CRAM.EVN /EVEN
PRINT CRAM.ODD
... turn paper over
PRINT CRAM.EVEN
VERSION 2.2
-------------------------
o Added some default support for LJ printers. Prior to this
release, CRAM.DAT had to be used. While not totally
transparent yet, the hooks are there for someone if they
would need to modify the code.
o Minor code changes to support move to BORLAND C++ compiler.
NO, it is not C++ code!
VERSION 2.1
-------------------------
o Removed the redundant '/RIGHT' command-line switch. If you
want one column then specify '/COL=1'.
o Added the '/WHITE=N' command-line switch. This switch specifies
the amount of white space that appears at the beginning of each
line. This, of course, reduces the numbers of input characters
that may be displayed.
VERSION 2.0
-------------------------
o Added >2 column capability. CRAM will now format for upto
ten columns of display output. This will help those of you
that already use other COLUMN programs to format narrow items
like address lists for processing by CRAM.
o The '/MAX' command-line argument which used to switch to ELITE
formatting has been deleted since that is the now the default.
To get the old default (the print size is slightly larger but
you get less characters/line), the new command-line argument
'/LARGE' has been added.
o The proverbial CODE CLEANUP.
VERSION 1.2
-------------------------
o First cut at greater than two column formatting. I got
tired of using other COLUMN programs then feeding the
output to CRAM. I needed to print >2 columns on ocassion
and it looked pretty easy to implement, so this internal
version was born to support the effort.
VERSION 1.1
-------------------------
o Added ELITE printing to existing PICA capability; with the
new '/MAX' command-line switch, 158 chars could be printed
on an 8½ X 11 page versus the old 136 characters.
VERSION 1.0
-------------------------
o Initial Release!
