BISHOW32 notes:
The feature added for version 3.2 of BISHOW is a printer toggle
using ^P (just like CP/M). You can send the currently displayed screen
to the printer using the new "A" command. You can also use the ^L and
^F commands to send line feeds and form feeds to your printer to seperate
the printed excerpts. The ^L, ^F, and A commands only operate when the
printer is toggled on.
The messages for print toggling and sending line and form feeds
are erased before the next command is executed so there are no extra
lines in the console display. None of the console messages are sent to
the printer.
If you only want to print a few lines, be careful about posi-
tioning in the file because the commands to back up one line will print
the entire screen to the printer starting one line back from the current
screen starting line. The way to print a few lines is to make sure they
are just below the current lowest screen line using the forward and back
scrolling before toggling the printer.
Otherwise the program is about the same as version 3.01. I com-
mented out the ^H, ^L, and ^F commands from the last version. The ^H and
^L controlled horizontal "scrolling" which I didn't need and I wanted the
^L for the LF to printer. The ^F is being used to send the FF. If you
need the left and right features they can be restored with a little
juggling of command letters in the .ASM file. Don't forget the HELP
messages if you change anything.
The program gives a list of options when called with no command
line parameters and shows a very brief help message when an undefined
key or a "?" is pressed during operation. The version in this library
is assembled with all the options. It is set up for an 80x24 screen
which clears with an 'ESC *' sequence and will show squeezed files and
files in .LBR files. The program will show you a list of files in a .LBR
file from the command line. For example A>BISHOW32 BISHOW32.LBR<CR>
will give:
Library file, containing:
