PRINTF - PrintFlip for Windows
Version 1.6
Copyright 93 by Ling Siow Chang & Mei-Hsin Jenny Chang
Introduction:
PrintFlip is a quick printer changer and setup for Windows.
PF allows you to quickly switch from a printing device to another
on the desktop without running control panel. You can also see
the present printer at a glance. This is especially useful when a
person (such as I) has a printer and a fax/modem. PrintFlip
supports multiple printer drivers and ports. Furthermore,
PF can switch Print Manager status fast. It also can change
orientation on the fly. For more info, please read the help file.
Tested with Windows 3.1. Please do distribute widely and we
welcome any feedbacks.

History:
v1.6 - Fixed bug that made it unable to work with certain drivers.
v1.5 - Made the code a bit more efficient and fixed the wrong screen
bug. Public release.
v1.4 - Recompiled for Visual Basic 3.0. Fixed some bugs such as
print orientation update and screen saver unable to activate.
Limited release.
v1.3 - supports same driver with multiple ports. Fixed a nasty bug that
causes PrintFlip to send out device change message every time
it updates itself instead of only when the settings change.
Look at NOTE! in help file. I am sorry for the bug and
inconveniences caused. Fixed a bug to update the minimized
icon correctly. Internal release.
v1.2 - new and more intuitive configuration interface, name changed
to PrintFlip, status changed to shareware.
v0.4 - fixed some bugs such as list and icon updates, refusal to
start minimized. Also added the print manager feature.
Better error trapping.
v0.3 - first public release as pftime and donateware.

PrintFlip Installation
Files that come with PrintFlip:
PRINTF.EXE
PRINTF.HLP
README.TXT
APIGUIDE.DLL
Methods:
1. You need the file VBRUN300.DLL (Visual Basic run-time file)
in your Windows directory (\WINDOWS or \WINDOWS\SYSTEM) since
this is a Visual Basic program. You can get it from where you
obtain PrintFlip.
2. APIGUIDE.DLL should be copied to the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM
directory.
3. The other files should be installed in their own directory
(such as C:\WINUTIL\PRINTF).
4. Attach PRINTF.EXE icon to a Group (Startup group recommended)
in Program Manager (easiest way is to drag and drop from File
Manager).
