"Read1" is a file reading utility runable from CLI or
Workbench.
Syntax "Read FileName [mode]" where mode is optional
-a to force ASCII display or -h to force HEX display.
If mode is not dictated, "Read" decides which mode to
use based on the presence of 0 value bytes within the
first one hundred bytes of the file. Text files
SHOULD NOT have any 0 bytes.
To start "Read" from Workbench, click it's icon once
then Double-click the icon for the file you want to
read. Sorry - only one file at a time.
"Read2" is an enhanced (and larger) version of Read1.
Read2 can be started from CLI or Workbench WITHOUT entering
or selecting a file. In this case Read2 opens a file requester
to choose the file to read. Read2 also has a "New File"
gadget to open another file for reading.
"Print" is a utility for printing files to the printer.
Syntax "Print FileName [-c#] [-o]". -c# where # is number
of copies to print. -o will print immediately useing the
last user options saved.
Start from Workbench like Read.
Print opens a window full of gadgets to select the
following:
NORMAL/CONDENCED print size*
YES/NO Emphasized *
ASCII/HEX Set automatically by "Print", but you
may change it if you desire.
YES/NO Print FileName? (Full path name!)
YES/NO Print Comment? (If print filename is YES,
and file is commented. Otherwise this
gadget displays "N/A".)
TODAY/CREATED/NONE Print date?
MORE/##/LESS Skip over Perf. *
MORE/##/LESS Line Spacing *
MORE/# SPACES/LESS/TAB Tab spacing. IF you click TAB
tab bytes are output to printer. Otherwise
spaces are used to create tab stops as requested.
If # SPACES gadget reads "TAB=TAB", click it to
go back to number of spaces.
MORE/##/LESS Indent line. ADDS spaces to left margin
set in Preferences.
LINEFEED/FORMFEED Toggle to determine if formfeeds
within file are output as linefeeds instead.
YES/NO Formfeed at end. Do you want a single formfeed
at end of file.
SAVE THIS CONFIGURATION Saves your current choices
as defaults for future invokations of "Print".
This function will fail if "Print" has been
loaded via the Dos "Path" system. If "Print"
is reachable via the full directory name by
which it was invoked, (i.e. "Df0:Print") or
is in C:, all is well. You may re-name the
program.
PRINT Does the obviuos.
ABORT Will simply exit the program if printing has
not started. If printing is in progress,
"Print stops sending out to the printer at
the end of the next line. If you printer has
a sizable buffer, however, printing may continue
for a while even tho "Print" has exited.
The functions marked with an asterisk (*) are printer
dependant, and may do different things (or nothing at all)
with different printers!
All of these programs are freely distributable provided no
charge is made for the programs. Author assumes no liability
in connection with the use or distibution of these programs.
