FORM PRINTER & PRINTFILTER
--------------------------
In this archive you will find a Generic Form printing object written for
TP7/BP7. All source code is provided in the arvhive called SOURCE.
The printer definitions for the printing object are plain ASCII files
in the same style as Microsoft(R) .INI files. An object to add such
files to your programs is also provided.
All the units make use of several routines out of TOOLKIT.PAS which
is what i call "My little toolbox". This is an extensive (& ever expanding)
collection of handy functions & procedures. They are not fully documented,
but you can still have a look at them if you're interested as most
of the functions are pretty straightforward. Several functions in
the Toolbox are external functions. The complete ASM source for these
externals is provided, as wel as a .OBJ file for those without Assembler.
In this archive you will also fin a program called PRNFLTR.PAS. This is
a replacement Print Filter for the Borland IDE. I'm using this filter
at my work, because i got annoyed with the Borland filter.
The executable provided has been tested with a DeskJet 520 & a LaserJet IIIP.
It should work properly, but there's alwas another bug, as you know.
IMPORTANT
---------
All included units and programs are fully documented (except for
TOOLKIT.PAS). This documentation can be found in the Source Code itself.
At the start of every .PAS file you will find a complete explanation
of the usage of the unit/program.
PUBLIC DOMAIN
-------------
All this code is donated to the public domain. Do with it whatever
you like. One question though! I would really appreciate it if
you send me a postcard or EMail if you like the code or make use
of it. I don't force anyone to this, it's just fun.
.TPU files suck!!
-----------------
For all you programmers out there: If you want to distribute your
programs to the world include .PAS files because TPU file are
totally useless when you switch compilers.
If you're ashamed of your source code, then why distribute the TPU.
If you don't want to share your code, then you're selfish.
If you want to make money, then distribute a finished program, not TPU's
Sorry for being a bit facetious, but I just hate it that when a new
compiler is issued, that i lose all the functionality of TPU's.
And with BP8.0 in the pipeline, i wouldn't want to get caught out.
