OKIDATA 92 Text File Lister

This program is for users of the Okidata 92 graphics printer. It
will take a disk file, and print it to the printer 64 columns across,
using the character set currently selected. It will reproduce all
characters EXACTLY as they appear on the screen. Suggested uses are to
list BASIC programs with embedded control characters, screen dumps,
etc.
There are two forms of the program, one in BASIC and the other in
the form of a Monarch ABC compiled object file. Legal reasons dictate
that I include the following:
"Produced using copyrighted software products of
Monarch Data Systems, Cochituate, MA 01778."
The program's operation is fairly self-explanatory: Load the
program, answer the prompt with the FULL FILESPEC (i.e. include "D:")
of the text file you want to list. This can be LISTed BASIC programs,
word processed files, etc.
If you want to print in a font other that the standard Atari
character set, you will have to use the BASIC version, or compile your
own. You should add a subroutine to read in a new character set and
enable it. There are several programs (The Next Step, Fontedit,
Instedit, etc.) and subroutines available that will allow you to change
the character set - I will not elaborate further. Whatever is showing
on the screen is what you'll get on paper.
Note: there is a one dot space between all letters. This is to
separate graphics characters, etc., to make them more readable.
If you have any problems, drop me a line at the address above.
