Welcome to the demonstration version of DJ_BothSides for Windows.
DJ_BothSides prints ASCII text files on both sides of the paper. It will
save many trees and as much as 5 pounds for each 500-sheet pack. You'll
save even more with the `double-column' and `folded' options, which can
also extend the life of your print cartridges.
It's ideal for program listings, READ.ME files, on-line manuals,
magazines and help, e-mail, wide spreadsheet output and proofing drafts
prior to typesetting. Its facilities - and limitations - are summarised
in Sections 3 and 4.
