This is a little program I have found useful for printing out text,
especially Action! source listings, and saving time & paper. It may be
useful for other text printing jobs too, e.g. sources that are saved to
disk in ATASCII text form. Check the LL.DOC file included below for a
quick rundown.
PRINTER OUTPUT OPTION
Littlelister composes columnar output in memory. It can be used with
any printer, to print any size of input file. I wrote it for my 1027,
but it works even better with my new NX-10 printer. For maximum speed
printing, it can be set to represent "unprintable" bytes with
combinations of printable ones; full graphics ATASCII printing is also
possible using G: (see below).
THE CODE
The UUencoded binary file follows in a separate message. If it doesn't
make it through some gateway in its travels, I will mail a copy direct
on request. For least frustration, use the YAU UUdecoder to decode it.
It seems some of the other decoders might require extra padding
on each line; I used YAUE to encode it. Action! sources also available
on request, due to length I haven't posted them... yet)
(Thanks to JRD: YAU and YAUE are very nice tools; they work fine with
SpartaDOS in both command line and prompt modes.)
(Thanks also to Bruce Langdon, for the ideas in his PRINT.ACT program
posted to Usenet some time ago)
