Version # What's New
────────── ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
3.x Version 3.x is a major update with m-a-n-y new features.
* MP now supports DeskJet printers, as well as Epson
and LaserJet printers. MP supports ANY printer when
printing in normal portrait mode (2-sided if you like).
We removed landscape support for Toshiba printers since
most current Toshiba printers can emulate Epson printers
which we DO support.
* We added a Newspaper, 2-column print option. It's GREAT!
* MP now includes 17 special fonts (up from 4). 8 are
for LaserJet and 8 are for DeskJet printers. One is a
"landscape" font for Epson printers which lets you use
3 different landscape print options on Epson printers!
We IMPROVED the Epson landscape font so printed text
is now much more readable than in earlier versions.
* We added a Paper Size option letting you print on
Letter, Legal or A4 paper.
* We've improved the way Title Lines are printed. Page
numbers, titles and dates now "float" to improve the
appearance of title lines.
* We added a option to print "rules" or vertical lines
between columns of text.
* We improved the user interface and added custom screen
fonts and mouse cursor shapes. These screen fonts and
cursor shapes are made possible by our new Font Pak
programmers' utility which virtually ANY programmer
can use. You'll see these fonts and cursor shapes if
you use an EGA or VGA monitor.
Changes Because of the new options we added, we ran out of
"screen real estate" in MP's menus. So we eliminated
the "Skip Continue" option, and used it's menu slot
for a Paper Size option (Letter, Legal or A4).
Implication: Once MP scans your text file, it will
pause and ask you to press <C> (Continue) to go on.

────────── ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
2.5 Added support for TABS (4 spaces print); fixed a bug.
2.4 Added Toshiba support and the Portrait print option.
2.2-2.3 Major update. Added option to download Epson font.

ordering to be compatible with the LaserJet II/III
rather than LaserJet Plus. Added Epson graphic mode.
1.5 Corrected several bugs (right side printing);
re-initialize printer codes at top of each page so
margins are correct if we change fonts mid-page.

Buerg for inclusion in his LJ Book); fine tuning.
1.0 First attempt; LaserJet + compatible; Line Printer font.
