- DMPLAS Version 1.1
-
- Release date: December 1, 1991
-
- Description:
- ------------
-
- If you've installed a fast, quiet LaserJet compatible printer you know of
- its advantages but you've probably been disappointed that some of your
- favorite programs will not print properly as they did on your dot matrix
- printer. DMPLAS fixes this problem.
-
- DMPLAS is a translator for IBM/Epson FX control sequences - it changes
- them into HP LaserJet (PCL) control sequences.
-
- Virtually all programs have a setting for the IBM Graphics printer or the
- Epson FX (they are the same with the exception of the IBM Graphics
- printer's ability to print the IBM line drawing character set where the
- Epson prints italic characters). Just load DMPLAS and use either setting
- on your favorite programs. No need to switch software.
-
-
- This evaluation version is full and complete; it contains no drop-dead
- date or other underhanded tricks to promote registrations.
-
-
- Features that make DMPLAS stand out are:
-
- - Translates both text and graphics. Works with GRAPHICS.COM and all
- programs which output to the IBM Graphics printer or Epson FX standard.
- Automatically handles the full range of graphics print densities.
-
- - Runs in the background as a TSR taking only 6k of memory. Can be turned
- off temporarily bypassed or deactivated by running DMPLAS again with the
- proper parameter.
-
- - Can be used as a normal DOS program to print files formatted for
- IBM/Epson FX printers.
-
- - Includes optional LaserJet soft fonts to better emulate IBM/Epson fonts
- with full 300dpi laser printer quality. An optional download program is
- also included. See DMPLASFN.ZIP
-
-
- Short descriptions suitable for use on BBSs follow:
-
- DMPLAS.ZIP TSR (6k) program translates IBM/Epson
- escape sequences to HP LaserJet. Also
- translates graphics. Extends the life
- of your software. <ASP>
-
- DMPLASFN.ZIP Optional fonts and download program for
- DMPLAS. Gives more accurate translation
- on some laser printers. <ASP>
-
- or
-
- DMPLAS.ZIP TSR makes your LaserJet Epson compatible
- DMPLASFN.ZIP Optional fonts for DMPLAS
