- PROGRAM NAME: DiskInsert
- VERSION: 0.3
- RELEASE DATE: 8-1-92
- PURPOSE: DiskInsert will print the directory of a disk, using a
- PostScript printer, so that it can be placed in the sleeve
- with the disk.
- REQUIREMENTS: PostScript printer and EGA graphics.
- USE: di [output device]
- Where [output device] is optional. If [output device] is
- blank, the user will be prompted to select a device.
-
- I wrote DiskInsert, using Borland's Turbo Pascal 5.0, because my employer
- bought some new PostScript printers and I could no longer redirect the DIR
- listing to the printer. I like to keep a list of the disk's contents with it so
- that if I am looking for a file I don't have to keep shoving floppies in the
- drive. Writing this program gave me the opportunity to explore PostScript and
- GUI programming. If you are interested in PostScript programming I recommend the
- book 'Understanding PostScript Programming', by David A. Holzgang.
-
- This version is the second public release. With this version I added I/O
- checking for the printer, mouse support, and the ability to print multiple
- inserts without restarting the program.
-
- Currently I am working on a Windows version of DiskInsert. If you are
- interested in receiving that please say so when you register.
