- This program was written to provide computer keyboard control over the many
- printer control options of the Star Micronics Gemini 10X or 15X printers.
- The actual program is contained under the file name "GEM'PRTR.BAS" and runs
- under the BASIC program language. Extensive instructions are provide so that
- even but the most inexperience PC user can execute this program. An
- installation program is also included that will automatically create a batch
- file that will allow a simple one word command to execute this program.

-
- README.BAT This file simply issues a TYPE command with the |MORE filter
- to allow easy reading of the instruction file README.DOC.
-
- README.DOC This file provides detailed instructions on the use of the main
- program PRT'CTRL.BAS.
-
- GEM'PRTR.BAS This program written in GW-BASIC is the single program that
- provides all printer control commands.
-
- INSTALL.BAT This program selects on of the files FILE1.TMP, FILE2.TMP, or
- FILE3.TMP and copies it as PRT.BAT. The criterea for selection
- is the aurgument entered after the INSTALL command which is to
- be the Basic call used by the user's computer. This newly
- created PRT.BAT file then allows the user to call the Basic and
- the program in PRT'CTRL.BAS with only the command "PRT".
-
- FILE1.TMP This file is the command line for use when the Basic call is
- "BASICA".
-
