README .DOC This file
FEATURES:
- 64k Print buffer Large enough, but not too big.
- Stop Print For the oops factor.
- Re-enterant This program only allocates memory when
first run.
- Source Code Unprecedented. If you don't like
something, you can change it.
- No Risk Shareware. If you like, you buy.
BOOTING UP:
ZPRINTQ.PRG when run will allocate slightly more than 64k of
memory for interrupt drivers and buffer space. You may choose to
place ZPRINTQ.PRG in the AUTO folder on your disk, or you may run
ZPRINTQ.PRG from the desktop. You may run the program as often as
you want without running out of memory, since memory is only
allocated the first time it is run. Once run, the program is
totally transparent to the user.
"Ok. I ran ZPRINTQ and started printing out SUPERBLAST.DOC.
Unfortunately, I wanted to print SUPERBLAST.TXT." Sound familiar?
No problem. Run STOP_PRT.PRG. STOP_PRT will find ZPRINTQ and
flush ZPRINTQ's buffer.
If the listing you want to stop is really big (greater than
64k), place your printer off-line. This will fill ZPRINTQ's buffer.
When the buffer fills up and your printer is off-line, you will see
a message saying 'data is not being received by your printer check
paper, power connections, etc.'/ CANCEL / RETRY /. Click on cancel.
Finally run STOP_PRT.
