- "Read" is a file reading utility runable from CLI only.
- Syntax "Read FileName [mode]" where mode is optional
- -a to force ASCII display or -h to force HEX display.
- If mode is not dictated, "Read" decides which mode to
- use based on the presence of 0 value bytes within the
- first one hundred bytes of the file. Text files
- SHOULD NOT have any 0 bytes.
-
- "Print" is also a CLI utility for printing files to the
- printer. Syntax "Print FileName". Print opens a window
- full of gadgets to select the following:
-
- NORMAL/CONDENCED print size*
- YES/NO Emphasized *
- ASCII/HEX Set automatically by "Print", but you
- may change it if you desire.
- YES/NO Print FileName? (Full path name!)
- YES/NO Print Comment? (If print filename is YES,
- and file is commented. Otherwise this
- gadget displays "N/A".)
- TODAY/CREATED/NONE Print date?
- MORE/##/LESS Skip over Perf. *
- MORE/##/LESS Line Spacing *
- MORE/# SPACES/LESS/TAB Tab spacing. IF you click TAB
- tab bytes are output to printer. Otherwise
- spaces are used to create tab stops as requested.
- If # SPACES gadget reads "TAB=TAB", click it to
- go back to number of spaces.
- MORE/##/LESS Indent line. ADDS spaces to left margin
- set in Preferences.
- LINEFEED/FORMFEED Toggle to determine if formfeeds
- within file are output as linefeeds instead.
- YES/NO Formfeed at end. Do you want a single formfeed
- at end of file.
- SAVE THIS CONFIGURATION Saves your current choices
- as defaults for future invokations of "Print".
- This function will fail if "Print" has been
- loaded via the Dos "Path" system. If "Print"
- is reachable via the full directory name by
- which it was invoked, (i.e. "Df0:Print") or
- is in C:, all is well. You may re-name the
- program.
- PRINT Does the obviuos.
- ABORT Will simply exit the program if printing has
- not started. If printing is in progress,
- "Print stops sending out to the printer at
- the end of the next line. If you printer has
- a sizable buffer, however, printing may continue
- for a while even tho "Print" has exited.
-
- The functions marked with an asterisk (*) are printer
- dependant, and may do different things (or nothing at all)
- with different printers!
-
- Both these programs are freely distributable provided no
- charge is made for the programs. Author assumes no liability
- in connection with the use or distibution of these programs.
