CodePrint (TM) - Revision History
This file contains enhancements and bug fix history for CodePrint.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------- VERSION 2.20 September 30, 1993 --------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
** Bug Fixes ***********************************************************
[] Fixed bug that would cause a GP fault on some systems when dropping
files to the CodePrint icon.
[] Fixed printer setup to correctly initialize the print orientation and
duplex options.
[] Fixed bug that did not update CHECK status for duplex printing on main
menu if option was changed while application was minimized.
** Enhancements ***********************************************************
[] Added a most recently used list to the File menu. The MRU list provides
quick access to recently used configurations. Up to 4 MRU configurations
are listed under the File menu.
[] Changed the status bar to display the duplex status and duplex support
for the current printer. See on-line help.
[] Change the Printer Setup so it now saves any changes globally for all
applications.
[] Added support for printers that internally support duplex printing. For
the HP Laserjet line of printers, the IID and IIID have a built-in
duplex option. The IIISi and 4Si have a duplex option.
To use a printers duplex feature, select File:Printer Setup to display
the standard Windows Printer Setup dialog. Choose the Options button.
In the Duplex Printing group box, select the option you want to use.
Then choose the OK button. For help with the Options dialog box, choose
the Help button or press F1 while using the dialog box. Then print as
normal.
Note: If the current default printer does not support duplex printing,
the duplex option will not appear in the dialog box. (See README.TXT
file under topic, KNOWN PROBLEMS for more information)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------- VERSION 2.10 April 30, 1993 -----------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
** Bug Fixes ***********************************************************
[] Fixed bug that would occasionally spool a job to Print Manager but not
print. It appears to occur only for jobs that require less than one
sheet.
[] Changed the FONT dialog to always display with a gray background to be
consistent with the other dialogs.
[] Not sure this is a bug as much as it was an omission. When duplex
printing was implemented, it was not implemented for use with the
DRAG-AND-DROP feature. It is now, along with some other convenience
features.
[] Fixed bug that did not gray the header or footer edit control if
unchecked.
** Enhancements ***********************************************************
[] You can now DRAG-AND-DROP files while CodePrint is MINIMIZED with the
duplex option ON and it works. You will get the normal message about
turning over the sheets and placing them back in the printer after the
first printing pass is complete, just like RESTORED mode operation.
However, to complete pass 2 printing, click the CodePrint icon to
display the Control/System Menu. Then select Print Pass 2 to complete
duplex printing for the dropped file(s). To cancel pass 2, select Cancel
Pass 2. You can also toggle Duplex Printing mode from the Control Menu.
Other selections include changing the configuration and displaying the
information dialog.
If you normally use CodePrint in the DRAG-AND-DROP mode you can now
perform most task without restoring the application.
Note: When pass 2 is pending the printer light on the icon (right side
of printer) changes from BLACK to RED. After selecting Print
Pass 2 or Cancel Pass 2 it changes back to BLACK.
[] This leads to the other important new feature. The ability to run
multiple copies of CodePrint has been re-implemented. For the users
who actually read these files you will notice that this feature was
disabled in v1.16. This feature needed to be tested and now appears to
work very well.
You can now open several copies of CodePrint, each with a different
configuration and DROP files to the icon with the configuration you
want to use.
[] Added the option to print the default wrap symbol '===>', or not print
it. If this option is checked, which will print the wrap symbol, you
can also change the symbol you want to use for wrapped lines. This
feature is accessed fro the Page Layout dialog.
[] Added a third border option which will print only a divider between
columns. This feature is accessed from the Page Layout dialog.

or footer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------- VERSION 2.00 January 25, 1993 ---------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
** Enhancements ***********************************************************
[] Added Duplex Printing option to the Options menu item. When this option
is checked, duplex printing is enabled. If this option is unchecked, the
default, duplex printing is disabled.
Duplex printing allows you to print on both sides of the paper. Duplex
printing requires two passes. You first select the files you want to
print and choose the Print File(s) button. After the files are sent to
the printer or Print Manager, the following message is displayed.
When printing is complete, turn sheets over and re-insert in printer so
the blank-side of the first sheet is on the top. Then choose the Print
File(s) button again.
Press OK. You will notice that the files are still listed in the Print
listbox. Next, after all the sheets are ejected from the printer,
re-insert them in the printer and choose the Print File(s) button to
print on the back of the sheets, which completes duplex printing.
Due to the variety of printers on the market, you may have to experiment
with the order the sheets are output from the printer and the order and
orientation required when placed back in the input tray. Therefore it is
suggested that you print only one file with multiple sheets for test
purposes. (See On-Line help for more detailed information).
NOTE: Due to the way duplex printing is implemented you should not
enable it when printing to a network printer.
** Bug Fixes ***********************************************************
[] Fixed bug that would not allow further printing if a print job was
cancelled.
[] Improved the keyboard interface for the main dialog window so now the
TAB key will always move between the controls even if CodePrint loses
focus due to switching applications.
[] Fixed bug that would not prompt to save changes during Exit when changes
were made to the Options menu.
