HEADLINER
**************************************
By: Bennett Cookson, Jr.
This program has made Headlines!!
With your Commodore 64, a VIC-1525
(or compatible) printer, and
Headliner, you can make the
headlines. This program gives you the
ability to make posters, signs,
Christmas cards, or even wrapping
paper.
Headliner is a short, yet powerful
program that will get the job done.
It is easy to use as it is driven
with menus. First, you are asked to
decide from among three different
modes. Mode one is regular upper
case letters and graphics. Mode two
is upper and lower case letters.
Mode three is reversed characters.
In the third mode, only upper case
letters are printed in reverse and
also this only applies to the
characters sent to the printer.
Neither upper nor lower case letters
are reversed on the screen.
The next menu lets you choose
the size of the headline that will be
printed. Size one is the biggest. It
prints letters a little over an inch
high, with ten letters for each line.
Letters are printed by using their
normal size letters arranged into the
shape of large letters.
Size two prints letters about
three-fourths (3/4) of an inch, with
20 letters per line. Here, letters
are printed using little squares to
make the large letters.
Size three and four are the regular
size type and double-width,
respectively. There is no problem
mixing large and small letters on the
same page, so with a little
creativity, you can make some
interesting text.
Headliner prints the letters in
groups of lines. After choosing the
size, you are asked to enter the
number of lines. Enter you choice,
then you are prompted to enter the
letters for each line. Once the
printing has finished, the menu is
returned to the screen.
