A few ParSNAG notes :
=====================
I originally wrote ParSNAG with two ideas in mind : 1) to aid in
performing color separations on JX-80 printers, and 2) to humble a certain
software company working along similar lines that kept referring to such
information as 'proprietary!'. Much to my chagrin, I found out that Caroline
Scheppner already wrote a similar program just a few weeks after the
completion of ParSNAG. (Great-Minds-Think-Alike Syndrome)
Anyhow. It may interest fellow developers to see how another
programmer attacked the same problem; routing all parallel.device output to
a disk file. ParSNAG, like all of my tutorials, is profusely documented and
performs its duties in a minimalistic, efficient manner.
I have also included a color-separation postprocessor that may be
applied to files captured using ParSNAG & Scrimper, Dpaint, or whatever. I
make no claim other than that it works with Mike Paul's amazing Epson JX-80
driver (included) and my EX-800. I gotta tell ya, copying intercepted color
pictures to PAR: is the BEST way to benchmark any graphic printer. Make sure
to close the ParSNAG window when you really, truly want the output to go to
the printer.
Compile this code at your own risk, Lattice owners; I'm sure most
Manx owners have by now figured out how to precompile the entire RKM #include
library and functions.h file.
