- ASCII2PS.EXE is a simple utility for printing ASCII files on PostScript
- printers. It is assumed that the ASCII file has been formatted to a
- line length of approximately 80 characters. This program will print
- in Courier only. No formatting can be specified.
-
- Use the program from a floppy, or copy to your hard drive. Copying
- the program file (ASCII2PS.EXE) to a subdirectory listed in your PATH
- statement will allow its use from any DOS prompt. Typing ASCII2PS at
- the DOS prompt will display the parameters to be used for the program.
-
- USAGE: ASCII2PS [drive:] [\path] filename.ext [LPT1 | LPT2 | LPT3]
-
- EXAMPLE: ASCII2PS c:\autoexec.bat lpt1
-
- Specifying a port parameter other than LPT1, LPT2, or LPT3 will write
- the PostScript code to a file.
-
- EXAMPLE: ASCII2PS c:\autoexec.bat ps.fil
-
- will create a file "PS.FIL" that will contain the PostScript code for
- printing "C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT" to the printer.
-
- This program is freeware, and is distributed as part of a package called
- PSSLEEVE.ZIP. More extensive programs that allow font selection and
- page formatting are available on many BBSs.
