- PrtFile is a utility that may be used standalone or as an external command
- within a PowerBatch program. It will print a file on the screen (or printer) in
- various formats. All parameters are passed to PrtFile on the command line. The
- parameters are:
- /Fxxxxxxxx.xxx to tell PrtFile what file to print and may contain a
- directory specification such as /Fc:\doc\docfile.txt.
- /C causes PrtFile to clear the print area before printing. The default is
- NOT to clear the print area.
- /Ex defines the tab expansion size. The default is /E4.
- /P causes the output to be dumped to the printer. Default is screen.
- /S causes the output to be dumped to the screen. Default is screen.
- /Tx will output to the screen in "typed' format. Typed format is one
- character at a time with a delay between characters to emulate typing
- the document. The speed is controlled with x, a relative number between
- 0 and 9. Each increment of x represents .03 second with 0 = .30 second
- and 9 = .03 second.
- /WX1,Y1,X2,Y2 defines a window on the screen in which the file will be
- printed. The default is the full screen. PrtFile does not perform word
- wrap but will split the line at the exact edge of the window
- definition. If you print in a window, you should insure that the line
- length will fit in the window.
-
- Examples:
- PRTFILE /fprtfile.doc /p
- Print the contents of the PRTFILE.DOC file on the printer.
-
- PRTFILE /fc:\config.sys /w10,5,70,20 /c
- Print the contents of the CONFIG.SYS file in a window whose upper left
- boundary is col 10, row 5 and whose lower right boundary is col 70, row 20.
- Clear the window before printing begins.
-
- PRTFILE /fdemo.txt /w25,10,55,20 /c /t5
- Clear the window whose upper left boundary is col 25, row 10 and whose
- lower left boundary is col 55, row 20. "Type" the file DEMO.TXT in this
- window with a medium typing speed.
