- Short: Cassette Cover Printer V2.12

- What is TapeCover
- =================
-
- TapeCover is a very simple to use and short program to print tape covers.
- I have written it because I didn't know any program of this kind that satis-
- fied me one hundret percent.
- It should even run on a stock A500 with 512K and OS2.1 (although this has
- not been tested, but anyway, is there anybody out there still using this
- kind of environment ???).
- As of now TapeCover only uses Text Printing for output but this may change
- future releases.
-
-
- Advantages
- ==========
-
- - The program does not need any GUI enhancement tools like MUI or any other
- libraries than the ones distributed with the official OS2.1 release
- (actually you only need the V38 asl.library, all the other needed libraries
- require a minimum version of 37 only).
- - Requires only minimum system resources.
- - Programmed according to the Commodore Guidelines (e.g. it runs fine on a
- third party graphics board in high resolution)
- - Uses the Preferences Printer Driver for output (output is currently only
- possible in text mode, but maybe future versions will also support the
- graphic mode printing using the density setting to scale the output).
- - Own input routine that lets you jump between every text gadget by using the
- cursor keys (Does anybody know how to realize this with Intuition
- gadgets ?).
- - Will be able to import data from future database applications that are under
- developement (e.g. CD-Archive and LiveTape-Manager).
-
-
- Disadvantages
- =============
-
- - Static data structure for the text input (but that is the reason why this
- program is so short compared to the other contestants).
- - Needs a printer which is capable of printing text in 15cpi mode (that
- shouldn't be a problem these days, but who knows...).
- - Needs at least a 640x400 screen when using topaz 8 fonts (Users without a
- flickerfixer / AGA chipset / graphics board can run TapeCover on it's own
- Hires NonInterlace Screen with the autoscroll option).
-
-
- Systemrequirements
- ==================
-
- The program only needs a minimal Amiga System :
-
- - Any Amiga with at least 512 KB RAM
- - min. OS 2.1 (2.04 ROM & WB 2.1)
- - min. a NTSC Hires Interlace Screen
- The minimal window height ist 387 pixels (when using topaz 8), which is
- sadly not enough to fit on a non interlaced screen. This should be no
- problem today to display a productivity or DblPAL / DblNTSC screen mode.
- If there are many complaints about this I may make a preferences option
- to reduce the window height (this would obviously look not so nice as it
- is now).
- - A printer that is supported by the standard Preferences and which can
- print 15cpi !!!
- TapeCover has been positivly tested on HP Deskjet, Panasonic KX-P1124
- and the Epson Stylus Series.
-
- Changes
- =======
-
- V2.12 - Release : 20.06.1995 (Second AmiNet Release !!!)
- - Changed the Prefs TapePath and ExpPath gadgets from TextEntry to Text-
- Display type
- - New E-Mail address. Now full internet account, so every sent mail should
- arrive at my site. The previous one was just an german Z-Net account,
- which was not capable of sending / receiving mails to other states than
- germany
-
- V2.11 - Internal : 24.02.1995
- - Bugfix: When you choose Cancel in the preferences window the preferences
- were not reset to the old ones
- - Bugfix: When using another language than german the printer output was
- wrong for the Side line
- - The feature of clearing the filename after erasing the side fields only
- is removed
