- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Basic Description of PrintIt ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- PrintIt is your basic ascii text printing program. The main users of this
- product are programmers. It is designed to print listings (something few of us
- programmers do anymore, but when you have to... its nice to have good printing
- tool).
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Command line and running PrintIt ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- PrintIt is design to be run from either the command line or interactively. Most
- of the information that is entered into dialogs can also be entered via the
- command line. For a detailed description of the command line options see the
- following reference section Command Line options.
-

-
- Sytax PRINTIT <-OPTIONS> <LIST OF FILES>
-
- All command line parameters are optional (including file names). All parameters
- can be entered using the programs dialog boxes. Once configuration information
- is entered in the dialog box (or by the command line) it will be saved as the
- new defaults. This does not apply to file names which must be entered fresh for
- each print job.

- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Installation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Installation is simple. Just copy the printit files to a directory that has the
- PATH, DPATH, and HELP environment variables set to it.
-
- 1. The PATH variable is optional (but useful).
-
- 2. The DPATH variable is used to locate the printit.cfg file.
-
- 3. The HELP variable is used to locate the printit.inf file.
-
- 4. Set the printit environment variable PRINTITFILES=X:\mydir to the
- location where you would like the program to store its ini file. If this
- variable is not present THEN printit will save the ini file to the
- current working directory. This can be useful since it will allow for
- different setups for each working location on your system.
-
- 5. Create an icon by dragging a program templete from the OS/2 Templete
- folder. Fill in the name of the program (printit.exe) and the working
- directory (where you installed printit).
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.1. Printer Configuration File ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The file printit.cfg contains information that defines how this program talks
- with the printer. It can be modified to allow this program to work with other
- printers than HP or it can be customized for a particular look.
-
- Rules.
-
- 1. The Character string that follows an embedded value cannot also be
- contained within an embedded value.
