MultiPrint V1.7 - Short

NAME
----
MultiPrint
DESCRIPTION
-----------
MultiPrint is a program for printing text files to both sides of a page,
in multiple columns, and very small, or very large, high quality fonts,
with optional justification, paragraph reformatting, and bold/italics.
MultiPrint makes use of many Amiga OS Release 2.04 features, and so
requires at least this revision of the operating system. These features
include Compugraphic Scalable Font technology, to produce characters to
the correct size at the full resolution of the, printer, and the correct
aspect ratios.
VERSION
-------
This is version 1.7, an update to version 1.6.
Version 1.7 fixes a few bugs that crept into the last
released version, and adds a few significant features.
Bugs fixed :
1. Printing of inter-file headers (via the +T flag) corrected
to print before the new file, instead of after the old.
This means it prints on the same sheet/page/column as the
new file (dependant in the L/C/P/S flags).
2. Corrected allignment of even pages when not printing to
both sides of a sheet.
3. Check option didn't work anymore :-(
Has now been removed, as it is superceded by the Preview
option, which is much simpler and more flexible (ie works
with reformating and justifying).
4. Now frees memory from page-in-progress when aborted.
Features Added:
1. Preview function. Allows a look at how the document will
appear, without printing.
Very useful when printing pre-formatted, or unformattable
files (source code), to check if they are fitting in the
columns.
2. HPShingle option added. Can greatly improve print quality
on Hewlett Packard printers from the HP500C up.
(Currently HP500C and HP550C)
