- SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
-
- Online Method (TIFMAKER.EXE)
- ----------------------------
-
- The default settings are stored in the SETUP.INI file.
- This file must be located in the applications directory.
- The specifications are held on separate lines, as follows:
- Line 1 = Number of lines per page (default - 45)
- Line 2 = Line spacing in pixels (default = 18)
- Line 3 = Type style:
- 0 = system default
- 1 = proportional (default)
- 2 = fixed pitch
- Line 4 = default graphics format: tif (default) or dcx
-
- If the setup.ini does not exist, the system uses the defaults.
-
-
- 'Driver Mode' (AUTOTIFF.EXE)
- ----------------------------
-
- Your external application must send an execute command with a
- parameter string.
-
- Example:
-
- C:\TIFMAKER\AUTOTIFF.EXE 50,20,0,C:\docs\doc1.txt, C:\imagefile\doc1.tif
- (for a quick test, send such a command via the Windows Program Manager).
-
- The first three parameters (50,20,0) are the number of lines per page,
- line spacing and type style, as explained above. The next two parameters
- are the source file path and the destination file path. The destination file
- supports only tif and dcx extensions. The defaults are the same as shown
- above. All commas must be shown, even if an element is blank. Please
- note the space (no comma) between the executable file and the first
- parameter.
