- DLST for OS/2
- -------------
-
- DLST allows fast printing of up to 334 lines on a single page using
- a Hewlett-Packard Series II or compatible printer. This is ideal for long
- program listings or documentation. Form feeds are ignored, tabs are expanded
- to up to four spaces, and long sequences of blank lines are output as only
- two blanks. Lines up to 180 characters in length are wrapped to a second
- line, with a " ...." preceding the second line. The accompanying FONT1
- soft font file must be used.
- DLST is called by the command:
-
- DLST <input-file> [output-file] [lines per column]
-
- output-file defaults to PRN
- lines per column defaults to the maximum of 168.
-
- The FONT1 25cpi downloadable font is included with DLST in two
- versions. The easiest method of downloading the font is to enter the
- command:
-
- COPY /b FONT1.DWN PRN
-
- The FONT1.FNT file contains the soft font without header information;
- use this file if you use another method of downloading fonts (make sure you
- set the font to font ID #1 -- future versions will allow for more flex-
- ibility).
- DLST for OS/2 is a Microsoft C rewrite of David L. Peterson's "DLST"
- program, which was written in Turbo Pascal for DOS. This program, like
- Peterson's original, is placed in the public domain and may be freely
- distributed as long as the program is not sold for profit.
- Coming very soon: modifications for multiple filespecs, with various
- grouping options, the full IBM graphics character set, and a choice of
- landscape or portrait printing. Send any comments, questions, or sug-
- gestions to:
