This program was written to provide computer keyboard control over the many
printer control options of the Star Micronics Gemini 10X or 15X printers.
The actual program is contained under the file name "GEM'PRTR.BAS" and runs
under the BASIC program language. Extensive instructions are provide so that
even but the most inexperience PC user can execute this program. An
installation program is also included that will automatically create a batch
file that will allow a simple one word command to execute this program.
OPERATING REQUIREMENTS ********
MS-DOS, BASIC, and an IBM COMPATIBLE COMPUTER

README.BAT This file simply issues a TYPE command with the |MORE filter

README.DOC This file provides detailed instructions on the use of the main
program PRT'CTRL.BAS.
GEM'PRTR.BAS This program written in GW-BASIC is the single program that
provides all printer control commands.
INSTALL.BAT This program selects on of the files FILE1.TMP, FILE2.TMP, or
FILE3.TMP and copies it as PRT.BAT. The criterea for selection
is the aurgument entered after the INSTALL command which is to
