"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.
