          BOOKLET is designed to create PC Booklet sized documents from
     full page text files on Laser Printers which emulate the Hewlett-
     Packard LaserJet series.  It prints four pages of the text file on one
     sheet of paper.  The pages are printed "two thirds size" on the right
     and left halves of both sides of a sheet of paper turned sideways
     (Landscape orientation.)  It supports all the standard sizes of paper
     (A4, LETTER, LEGAL, and EXECUTIVE)

          BOOKLET will perform transformation on basic LaserJet formatting
     commands.  This means that you can use your word processor to print a
     formatted document to a file and use BOOKLET to print that file in
     booklet form.  For this to be successful, you must have fonts loaded
     in your printer for the sizes BOOKLET will use.  These can be from a
     font cartridge or may be soft fonts which you have loaded ahead of
     running BOOKLET.  BOOKLET does not create or load any fonts.  You will
     need fonts which are approximately two thirds the point size of the
     fonts you use in your document.

          The BOOKLET Document has been formatted for LaserJet printers so
     it is not easy to read on a computer screen.  You may need to supply
     one or more parameters to BOOKLET.  The size of paper you are using is
     required if it is not LETTER.  This will be either /S:A4 for the
     European standard paper or /S:LETTER for US 8.5x11 inch paper.

          A second parameter is needed if you are using the Multi-Purpose
     tray on an HP LaserJet IIP or LaserJet IIIP and your output is going
     to the normal stacker tray.  This parameter, /K:MP causes the order of
     printing to accommodate the way these printers take paper from the MP
     tray.  Your command line would look as follows:

               BOOKLET /S:LETTER /K:MP

     If you are using the front output tray, use the /K:DJ parameter in
     place of the /K:MP parameter.

          For the HP DeskJet series you will need to add two parameters.
     Add /K:DJ /AS:9,1.5 to cause the printing order to match the way the
     DeskJets feed paper and to tell BOOKLET about the extra unprintable
     margin these printers have.  Your command line would look as follows:

               BOOKLET /S:LETTER /K:DJ /AS:9,1.5

          If you have a printer other than the above which stacks its
     output with the printing up you will need /K:INVERTED as a second
     parameter.  Your command line would look as follows:

               BOOKLET /S:LETTER /K:INVERTED

          When you are prompted to load the pages for the second side,
     place the pages face down (as they came out of the printer) in the
     source paper tray.  (Unless you are using the Multi-purpose tray.  In
     that case, the pages should be face up.)

     BOOKLET is distributed as shareware.

          Shareware is commercial software distributed in an unconventional
     manner.  Shareware isn't free.  If you use it regularly, the authors
     expect compensation.  Shareware allows you to evaluate the product
     before you purchase it.  If you use this product, you are obliged to
     register it.

          Copies of BOOKLET may be freely distributed in its
     self-extracting form (BOOKLT.EXE.)  No fee, charge or other
     compensation may be accepted for the distribution of BOOKLET.  Except,
     Public Domain Disk Vendors and BBS(s) may charge a nominal fee for
     distribution of the program.  Such charges must clearly be labelled
     distribution charges and the recipient of BOOKLET must be informed
     that the distribution fee does not relieve the payment of the
     registration fee for BOOKLET.

     The BOOKLET files consist of:

               BOOKLET.EXE    The BOOKLET program
               BOOKLET.PCL    The BOOKLET document
               REGISTER.FRM   The BOOKLET registration form

          This program is produced by a member of the Association of
     Shareware Professionals (ASP).  ASP wants to make sure that the
     shareware principle works for you.  If you are unable to resolve a
     shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member
     directly, ASP may be able to help.  The ASP Ombudsman can help you
     resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide
     technical support for members' products.  Please write to the ASP
     Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442-9427 or send a
     Compuserve message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.
     The Ombudsman may be contacted by FAX by sending to the ASP FAX
     number: [phone].  In communications with the Ombudsman please
