This printer definition file (PDF) allows you to create printer configurations
(print jobs) that will convert text to postscript on-the-fly. To use it,
run PRINTDEF and IMPORT this file as a device called POSTTEXT. Then run
PRINTCON and create the associated printer configurations. Currently defined
definitions are
10 point portrait,
9 point landscape,
8 point landscape,
6 point portrait,
6 point landscape
You can easily expand this system to include just about any pointsize setup
by modifying the print definitions. Comments in the device definitions should
help to identify what to change.
This postscript code was actually developed by Glenn Reid of Adobe Systems Inc.
and was distributed free-of-charge for others to use. To make it work within
the Novell 256 character header limit, it was butchered to remove all spaces,
multi-character variable names and extras such as page headers and numbers.
*****************************
REMEMBER TO PUT THE LINE
PRINT HEADER=255
IN YOUR SHELL.CFG FILE!!
*****************************
The shell.cfg file is a configuration file that is used by NET3 (or NET4) that
will setup parameters for your netware shell. By default, the maximum header
size is 64 bytes which is by no means large enough to accomidate this system.
SHELL.CFG is a text file which should be located on the same drive and
directory as your net#.com file.
The original file is included in this .ZIP (PSHEAD.PS) so you may also make use
of it and perhaps help you create more print definitions.
This .PDF file and all other files are distributed free-of-charge with no
warranty nor guarantee that it will work and that it will not cause a
catastrophic melt-down of your computer equipment that tips-off a massive
explosion causing a terrific <BANG> that deafens ears miles around...but that's
another story <grin>.
I hope this helps all those supervisors out there get their systems running
as efficient and full-featured as possible.
A lot of work went into this system yet I am still giving it away for free.
Remember the good-'ol days when people used to give code away just to help
advance computer literacy and to avoid industrial duplications???
