- This diskette contains the functional program (DMPLAS.COM), several test files,
- and the full text of the current User Manual in an ASCII file named DMPLAS.DOC
-
- To print the manual enter "COPY DMPLAS.DOC PRN"
-
- A set of HP LaserJet soft fonts designed to compliment DMPLAS is also available
- and can usually be found in a file named DMPLASFN.ZIP or DMPLS2.ZIP.

- ----------------------------------
-
- Changes from Version 1.0.
-
- 1) DMPLAS now handles horizontal tab settings. Previously an HT (09h) gave
- spacing every 8 characters (the default on most printers). There are 2
- Epson escape sequences that can alter these tab settings and DMPLAS
- handles both properly.
-
- 2) In TSR mode, DMPLAS now returns a "printer ready" status to the program
- that is running even when it intercepts and swallows escape sequences.
- This increases compatibility with programs that insist on continuously
- checking the printer status.
