    IMAGEPRINT  Version  1.5  is  marketed     as   User-Supported
    Software.  This  is  an  opportunity  to  test    and evaluate
    software before you buy it.  We at  Image  Computer  Systems
    rely on your support to continue developing quality products
    at   reasonable   prices.   If     you   find  yourself  using

    You are encouraged to give unmodified copies  of  IMAGEPRINT
    distribution  diskettes  (with    1 font file) to your friends
    and acquaintances.  We want  to  reach    as  many  people  as
    possible with this product.

    If you have a REGISTERED IMAGEPRINT diskette (with more than
    1 font file),  do not give anyone a  copy,  which  would  be
    breaking federal copyright law.  We know that it is tempting
    to "help a  friend",  but  anyone  that  has  the  funds  to
    purchase  a  computer  and printer and word processor surely
    can spare another $20 for  the    purchase  of  a  product  as
    useful as IMAGEPRINT.  And stay honest in the process.

    INTRODUCTION

    WHAT IS IMAGEPRINT?

    IMAGEPRINT is a program which allows  you  to  produce    high
    quality characters on your dot matrix printer.    With  IMAGE-
    PRINT you can print important letters, resumes, and documen-
    tation    on  your  standard  IBM  Graphics  Printer  or Epson
    printer or compatible printer.    There is no need  to  buy  a
    daisy wheel printer, another parallel port, another cable.

    IMAGEPRINT runs as a  standard    applications  program.    Text
    input  to  IMAGEPRINT  can  come  either  directly  from the
    keyboard  (typewriter  mode)  or from a disk file.  The text
    input can contain embedded backslash ("\")  commands,  which
    select bold,  underlining, double width, italics, etc.    Text
    can be formatted (left    and  right  justification,  margins,
    etc) with a word processor or by using IMAGEPRINT's built-in
    formatting capabilities.


    WHAT DOES IMAGEPRINT INCLUDE?

     Characters -

    Whether you're working with  an  IBM  Graphics    Printer,  an
    Epson  printer,  or a compatible printer,  IMAGEPRINT allows
    you to print the IBM Graphics Printer's  extended  character
    set,  which  matches  the IBM PC's character set,  in letter
    quality.  All of the mathematical symbols,  national charac-
    ters and graphics characters are included.

     Character attributes -

    IMAGEPRINT provides all of the standard IBM Graphics Printer
    character attributes like bold, double width, underline, ten
    characters per inch and compressed.

    Additional  features  provided by IMAGEPRINT include italic,
    half-high,  twelve characters per inch    (cpi),    true  super-
    script and subscript, 6 or 8 lines per inch, Epson JX series
    printer color control and proportional character spacing.

     Print Modes -

    There are four IMAGEPRINT print qualities:

     Draft quality.

      In this mode,  IMAGEPRINT  uses  the    printer's  built-in
      facilities to create a rough    draft  of  the    output    for


                                  1








                               INTRODUCTION
     --------------------------------------------------------------


      proofing.  Only the printer's standard dot-matrix font is
      used. Printing occurs at normal printer speed.

     Medium quality fast 3 pass printing.

      In  this  mode,  the print head moves at standard printer
      speed.  The printing is more dotty  than  the  other    two
      modes, especially in the horizontal direction.  This mode
      is useful for memos and reports that don't need top print
      quality, or for fast proofing.

     High quality 3 pass printing.

      In  this mode,  the print head moves at one half standard
      printer speed.  This is the  default    quality  of  IMAGE-
      PRINT.  The  print  quality  is excellent and can be used
      for your important correspondence.

     High quality 6 pass printing.

      In this mode,  the print head moves at one half  standard
      printer  speed.  Use    this  mode  for your most important
      letters, or if your printer ribbon is getting old.

     Fonts -

    All font files on IMAGEPRINT diskettes have a standard    name
    format: FONTxx, where xx is the number of the font.

    The distribution diskette contains 1  font:  Cubic  (FONT1).
    Registered users of IMAGEPRINT have a total of 6 typefaces:

     Cubic:        Attractive well-proportioned font that works
     (FONT1)       well at both 10 and 12 cpi.

     Roman:        Stylishly bold. Not as heavy as block, not
     (FONT6)       as light as Cubic.

     Outline:      Unusual font. Characters are very large, and
     (FONT7)       the center is hollow. Best at 10 cpi. Like
               Block, it works well as a heading.

     Small:        The smallest font. A nice alternative (in
     (FONT10)      proportional mode) to compressed (17.1 cpi).

     Pica:           Larger font than Cubic. Best at 10 cpi.
     (FONT11)

     Block:        Heavy font, very thick. Useful for headings,
     (FONT12)      emphasis. Stands out with bold attribute.



                                  2








                               INTRODUCTION
     --------------------------------------------------------------


    If you only have the Cubic font, you can get a demonstration
    of other IMAGE fonts by running "FONTDEMO" on the IMAGEPRINT
    diskette.

    There  is  a  file called FTABLE.TXT on the IMAGEPRINT disk-
    ette,  containing an ASCII character table.  You can use  it
    to print each of your IMAGEPRINT fonts for easy reference to
    character   shapes  or    individual  character  codes.    Edit
    FTABLE.TXT, changing the font name and the leading backslash
    command to select the desired font.  Then use IMAGEPRINT  to
    copy FTABLE.TXT to the printer. e.g. "IMP80 FTABLE.TXT".

    Formatting -

    IMAGEPRINT recognizes "dot commands" that  select  left  and
    right margins,    text micro-justification,  even and odd page
    gutters,  automatic centering,    headers,  footers,  six  and
    eight  lines per inch and line spacing.  Backslash commands,
    including double width,  do not affect the  formatting.  See
    the Section "Formatting commands" for more details.


    WHAT PRINTERS IS IMAGEPRINT COMPATIBLE WITH?

    IMAGEPRINT is compatible  with    any  of  the  following  dot
    matrix printers:

     IBM Graphics Printer, Proprinter or compatibles
     Epson EX, FX, GX, RX, LX, JX, "286" series printers
     Epson LQ series (see below)
     Many Epson MX series printers (see below)
     Epson compatible printers
     Canon PW-1156A
     Citizen 120D
     NEC Pinwriter
     Okidata 92/93 (with Plug 'n Play version 2.1 or higher)
     Okidata 190 series, 290 series (IBM compatible versions)
     Panasonic 1080, 1091, 1092, 1095
     Star Micronics SG series
     Newer Tandy printers that are IBM compatible
     Future Epson printers (Epson  has  a  policy  of  downward
                compatibility for its new printers)

    This is only a partial list.  If in doubt about your  print-
    er's suitability,  check that it  recognizes  the  following
    Epson printer control sequences: (ESC = ASCII character 27)

      ESC 3  - set line spacing in 216ths of an inch





                                  3








                               INTRODUCTION
     --------------------------------------------------------------


      ESC Z  - quadruple density graphics mode
                   or
      ESC L  - double density graphics mode (for Epson MX
           printers)

    Your  printer's  minimum  line feed distance should be 1/216
    inches,  but printers with a minimum line feed    distance  of
    1/144 inches or 1/180 inches will also work.

    * Note - the Epson LQ series printers work well with  IMAGE-
    PRINT, but lines are slightly spread apart vertically.    With
    an  Epson  LQ printer,    IMAGEPRINT prints 55 lines for every
    eleven inches, instead of the usual 66 lines.

    IMAGEPRINT works with printers connected to  parallel  ports
    LPT1:  (PRN:),    LPT2:,    or LPT3:.  ImagePrint will also work
    with serially interfaced printers if the DOS "MODE"  command
    is used to redirect output.  For example, "MODE LPT1:=COM1:"
    would  redirect  output  from the first parallel port to the
    first serial port.


    WHAT COMPUTERS WILL IMAGEPRINT RUN ON?

    IMAGEPRINT works with an IBM Personal Computer (IBM PC,  IBM
    PC-XT, IBM PC-AT, IBM PCJr, PS/2 Models 30, 50, 60,  80) and
    any  true  compatible or clone.  It runs under PC-DOS or MS-
    DOS versions 1.1 and above.

    There is also a CP/M-80 version  of  IMAGEPRINT  that  works
    with  printers attached to either a serial or parallel port.
    See the  Appendix  Section  "Other  Image  Computer  Systems
    products" for details.

    REGISTERING YOUR COPY OF IMAGEPRINT

    This IMAGEPRINT diskette is  distributed  as  User-Supported
    Software.  Registration costs 20 dollars and gives  you  the
    following benefits:

    (1) You are supporting us in our effort to release  quality
       software at an extremely low price.

       We  realize    that  the  "distribution"  version of IMAGE-
       PRINT,  with the Cubic font,  is a perfectly usable    pro-
       duct  without  any of the extras you get if you register.
       We could have distributed a version    of  IMAGEPRINT    that
       had    features removed,  or deleted sections of the user's
       manual,  but we  have  given  you  everything  you  need.
       Please  give  us  the  support  we  need by sending in 20
       dollars,  not only for what you will get,  but  also  for
       what you already have.

    (2)  When  you register your copy of IMAGEPRINT we will send
       you both the 80 and 136 column  versions  of  IMAGEPRINT.
       The    136  column  version  of IMAGEPRINT works with wide-
       carriage printers,  and the 80 column version works    with
       letter-width printers.

    (3) Also included are the six fonts  described    in  Section
       "What  does    IMAGEPRINT  include?",    Subsection "Fonts".
       Each font contains  an  entire  IBM    Graphics  Printer's
       character set.  Type "FONTDEMO" to see a font demonstra-
       tion.

    In  addition to the 6 fonts you get if you register for $20,
    you can also purchase the following fonts separately:  FONT1

     --------------------------------------------------------------


    USING IMAGEPRINT

    MAKING A COPY OF THE IMAGEPRINT DISKETTE

    First,    make a copy of the IMAGEPRINT diskette.  The  IMAGE-
    PRINT  diskette is not copy protected so it can be copied in
    the conventional way.

    If you have two floppy disk drives:

     1) Place the original IMAGEPRINT diskette in drive A:
     2) Place an empty formatted diskette in drive B:
     3) Type  "COPY *.* B:"

    If you have a hard disk:

     1) Place the original IMAGEPRINT diskette in drive A:
     2) Log onto your hard disk in the directory where you want
        IMAGEPRINT
     3) Type  "COPY A:*.*  C:"

    The  copy  command  is    safer  than the "DISKCOPY" procedure
    because the diskettes can be accidentally reversed and still
    not  overwrite    the IMAGEPRINT diskette.  Store the original
    diskette in a safe place.

    If you are unfamiliar with this  procedure,  refer  to    your
    operating system manual.


    STARTING IMAGEPRINT - AN OVERVIEW

    Put  your  IMAGEPRINT  copy  in  the currently active drive.
    Make sure you have the Disk Operating  System  (DOS)  prompt
    displayed. Then invoke IMAGEPRINT.

    The  syntax for invoking IMAGEPRINT for an 80 column printer
    is:

     IMP80 INPUT_SOURCE [LPTx:] [dash options] (x = 1,2 or 3)

    The command line can be typed in as either  upper  or  lower
    case.  Both  the  printer  specification  and  trailing dash
    commands are optional. Examples: (See below for explanation)

       IMP80 CON:               {input from console, default
                    to LPT1:}
       IMP80 \LETTERS\TEXTFILE     {input from \LETTERS\TEXTFILE}
       IMP80 C:LETTER.TXT LPT2: -D {draft mode, ouput to LPT2:}
       IMP136 CON: -O -L           {optimize print head movement,
                    6 print head passes per line}


                                  7








                           USING IMAGEPRINT
     --------------------------------------------------------------


    To use the 136    column    version  of  IMAGEPRINT,  substitute
    "IMP136"  for  "IMP80".  Note  -  The  136 column version of
    IMAGEPRINT is not included on  the  IMAGEPRINT    distribution
    diskette.

    The  input_source  specification  is  the source of input to
    IMAGEPRINT.  This can be  either  the  keyboard  (typewriter
    mode) or a disk file.  There is no default; you must specify
    the input_source.  See the following sections for details.

    Following the input_source specification is the printer port
    specification.    This can be LPT1:,  LPT2:  or LPT3:.  If you
    don't specify the printer port, it will default to LPT1:.

    Following the printer port specification are  optional    dash
    commands. They are:

       -D  : (D)raft

           Example:

               IMP136 AFILE LPT3: -D

        Print a rough draft of the  text,  using  only    the
        printer's  built-in  print  modes.  Draft  mode  is
        useful for proofing before printing a  final  copy.
        Printing  occurs  at  the  printer's  normal speed,
        using the  printer's  standard    characters.  Where-
        ever possible,    a standard printer mode  equivalent
        to  an    IMAGEPRINT  mode is selected so the printed
        text  closely  resembles  IMAGEPRINT  output.    For
        example,  a  "\N"  (normal character offset) in the
        input text will cause ESCAPE "T" (cancel  subscript
        or superscript) to be sent to your printer.

        Note - You should avoid  using    backslash  commands
        for  which your printer has no corresponding built-
        in function.  For example, in draft print mode,  if
        a  "\p"  proportional  spacing backslash command is
        detected in the input text,  then  IMAGEPRINT  will
        send  ESCAPE  "p"  (std.  Epson escape sequence) to
        your printer.  If your    printer  isn't    capable  of
        proportional  spacing  and  doesn't  recognize    the
        command, then the letter "p" may print.

       -O  : (O)ptimize

           Example:

               IMP80 CON: -O

        This is a very useful facility,  as it can  greatly
        speed  printing,  especially if a lot of text is on
        the far right of the page.  If print head  movement
        optimization is enabled,  then IMAGEPRINT will send
        regular spaces to locate the print position, rather
        than always returning the print head  to  the  left
        margin for each print pass.

        Note - IMAGEPRINT assumes that the printer is in 10
        characters per inch mode if print head optimization
        is  enabled.  At 10 cpi,  each space character will
        locate the print position 1/10 inches to the  right
        of the current print position. If you have set your
        printer's  DIP    switches  to  cause  the printer to
        power-up in a density other than 10 cpi,  then text
        will print at the wrong location because each space
        IMAGEPRINT will send isn't equal to 1/10 inches  of
        horizontal movement.

       -F -Q -L : Select print quality

        The  print  quality  can  be selected when invoking
        IMAGEPRINT using "-F",    "-Q" or "-L".  These  three
        selections  correspond    to  the  backslash commands
        "\F",  "\Q" and "\L" that can be  embedded  in    the
        input  text.  This  allows  printing  of text files
        using  different  print qualities without having to
        re-edit  the  text  file  to  change  the   quality
        selection.

       -M  : (M)X printer compatibility

        Select     Epson     MX   printer    compatibility  mode.
        IMAGEPRINT normally drives a  printer  in  quadruple
        density  (ESC  "Z")  graphics  mode.  Epson  MX type
        printers don't recognize this mode.  The "-M" option
        selects  the double density (ESC "L") graphics mode,
        which many MX type printers do recognize. Not all MX
        type printers recognize the double density mode, but
        often a "Graftrax" ROM chip will give a printer this
        capability.

    When IMAGEPRINT is invoked,  FONT1 is always loaded  as  the
    default font.  IMAGEPRINT is compatible with DOS 1.1 AND DOS
    2.0 & above.  This means that you  can    use  a    subdirectory

    path  to  specify  the    text  file  you  wish  to print with
    IMAGEPRINT.  However,  you must have your fonts on the    same
    drive  as  the IMAGEPRINT program because the backslash com-
    mands can only indicate a font number, not a path.

    If there are any errors when invoking IMAGEPRINT,  the cause
    of the error will be displayed on the  screen,    and  control
    will  return  to  the  operating system.  Errors,  and their
    meanings, are listed in the Appendix.

    While IMAGEPRINT is running,  if  the  printer    becomes  not
    ready  (turned    off,   taken  off-line,   out  of  paper..),
    IMAGEPRINT will usually time-out  (see    below),  display  an
    error  message,  and return control to the operating system.
    The time-out value is determined by your  operating  system,
    not by IMAGEPRINT.

    If  you  have  specified  infinite  printer  retry with your
    operating system MODE command or if you have run an infinite
    retry utility program, IMAGEPRINT will not time-out.

    You can abort IMAGEPRINT by pressing CTRL-C (the  CTRL    key,
    plus the "C" key at the same time),  but usually only if the
    printer is actively printing.  If your printer is not ready,
    then the  CTRL-C  key  combination  may  not  be  recognized
    because  the  part of your operating system that drives your
    printer may be in an endless loop.


    INPUTTING FROM A FILE:

       To use IMAGEPRINT to print a diskette file, type:

     IMP80 filename [LPTx:] [dash options]      (x = 1,2 or 3)

    To use the 136    column    version  of  IMAGEPRINT,  substitute
    "IMP136" for "IMP80".  Note -  The  136  column  version  of
    IMAGEPRINT  is    not  included on the IMAGEPRINT distribution
    diskette.

    Using  a  text    editor or word processor (see Section "Using
    with a word processor/text  editor"),  create  the  diskette
    file you wish to print with IMAGEPRINT.  The file must be in
    ASCII format, containing only printable characters.  Type in
    any backslash commands as  standard  characters.  Then    send
    the  file  to the printer using either the 80 column version
    of  IMAGEPRINT    (IMP80)  or the 136 column version (IMP136).
    For example:

           IMP80 \MAINDIR\MAIL\LETTER.DOC -d
           IMP136 A:LETTER.DOC LPT3: -O -M -F

    Note  -  See the description of THE IMAGE PRINTING UTILITIES
    in the Appendix if you wish to print directly from your word
    processor, spreadsheet, etc.  without first having to create
    an intermediate ASCII file.

    Backslash  commands  and   dot     formatting   commands     are
    automatically recognized and acted on. They are not printed.

    TYPEWRITER MODE:

    To use IMAGEPRINT in typewriter mode, type:

     IMP80 CON: [LPTx:] [dash options]    (x = 1,2 or 3)

    To use the 136    column    version  of  IMAGEPRINT,  substitute
    "IMP136" for "IMP80".  Note -  The  136  column  version  of
    IMAGEPRINT  is    not  included on the IMAGEPRINT distribution
    diskette.

    The first parameter following the program name is the source
    of input, and in this case, you will input from the console,
    or keyboard.  All backslash  commands  will  be  recognized.
    The current line  can  be  edited  using  the  standard  DOS
    keyboard buffer editing syntax. The most useful keys are:

     BACKSPACE    - delete character to left of cursor.
     TAB        - move to next tab stop.
     FUNCTION KEY 1 - display previous line 1 character at a
              time.
     FUNCTION KEY 3 - display previous line in its entirety.
     <RETURN>    - print the line that is visible on the
              screen.

    Each line on the screen will not print    until  the  <RETURN>
    key  is pressed,  because an internal line buffer stores the
    characters.

    Following the input_source specification is the printer port
    specification.    If you don't specify the  printer  port,  it
    will default to LPT1:.

    To exit IMAGEPRINT and return to the operating system, press
    the function key F6, or press the keys CTRL and "Z" together
    as the first entry on a line. Then press <RETURN>.

    BACKSLASH COMMANDS

    Backslash commands,  which select character density,  width,
    etc., are standard printable characters, embedded within the
    text of a file created for use with IMAGEPRINT. For example,
    "\I" gives you italics,  and  "\U"  gives  you    underlining.
    These  backslash  commands  are  recognized  as   IMAGEPRINT
    commands,  and    are  removed from the stream of data sent to
    the printer. They are not printed.  If formatting is enabled
    (".EN"),  backslash  commands,    including  the    double width
    command, will not affect margin justification.

    There is no space between the backslash  and  the  following
    character(s)  that identifies the command.  Almost all back-
    slash commands are made up to two characters: the backslash,
    plus one more alphabetic character.  The only  exception  is
    font selection, where the backslash can be followed by up to
    two numeric characters.

    There are two kinds of backslash commands: toggling and non-
    toggling.

    Toggling commands reverse the  current    state  of  the    mode
    selected.  For example,  because BOLD is a toggling command,
    the first "\B" encountered enables  BOLD  mode,  the  second
    cancels  BOLD,    the third enables BOLD again,  etc.  You can
    turn off all active toggling modes with "\C" (cancel).

    Non-toggling commands are  cancelled  by  selecting  another
    mutually  exclusive mode.  For example,  if "\|" is selected
    (12 characters per inch), a later "\>" (10 cpi) command will
    both cancel 12 cpi mode and enable 10 cpi mode.

    In  the  following table,  the command letters following the
    backslash are shown in upper case,  though lower  case    will
    work  also.  The backslash command mnemonics (except for the
    color commands)  represent,  as  closely  as  possible,  the
    action involved.  For example,    superscript is ^,  subscript
    is v, compressed is <, 12 cpi is |, 10 cpi is >.

    There are examples of backslash  commands  in  the  diskette
    files IMPTUTR1.TXT and IMPTUTR2.TXT.

    In the following tables, ESC stands for the escape character
    (1B Hex, 27 Decimal).

      FONTS:

    \00 ... \99

           Example:

          \1This is FONT1 (Cubic), \6this is FONT6 (Roman).

           Select a different font. The font file selected must
           be on the same drive that IMAGEPRINT was started on,
           or  an  error  occurs,  and  the program terminates.
           Your new font choice remains in effect  until  over-
           ridden by another font choice.

           The numbers following the backslashes correspond  to
           the font files:

               1       - FONT1 (Cubic)
               6       - FONT6 (Roman)
               7       - FONT7 (Outline)
               10      - FONT10 (Small)
               11      - FONT11 (Pica)
               12      - FONT12 (Block)

           The default font is FONT1.  It is always loaded    be-
           fore IMAGEPRINT reads any text input, so it must al-
           ways be available.

           There can be up to two digits  following  the  back-
           slash.  The  first character following the backslash
           must be a digit.  If the second character  following
           the backslash is also a digit,  then IMAGEPRINT    as-
           sumes that the two digits combined are to be used to
           select a font. Examples:

               "\0123" would use FONT1 to print "23"
               "\06123" would use FONT6 to print "123"
               "\6abc" would use FONT6 to print "abc"
               "\10abc" would use FONT10 to print "abc"
               "\1123" would use FONT11 to print "23"

           Mixing  different  fonts  on the same line slows the
           printing because of the font file disk access  time.
           IMAGEPRINT  has to load each font while accumulating
           the line before printing,  and also has to load each
           font to print the line. Using a RAM memory disk or a
           hard disk greatly reduces the font access time.

           See the Section "What does IMAGEPRINT include?" for
           details on the fonts.

      PRINT QUALITY:

    Three IMAGEPRINT print    qualities  are    available  that  use
    IMAGEPRINT fonts:

     \F - (Fast) Medium quality 3 pass printing.
           In  this  mode  the  print  head  moves    at standard
           printer speed.  The printing is more dotty than    the
           other  two  modes,   especially    in  the  horizontal
           direction.  All character  attributes  can  be  used
           except BOLD.

     \Q - (Quality) High quality 3 pass printing.
           In this mode  the  print  head  moves  at  one  half
           standard printer speed.    This is the default quality
           of IMAGEPRINT. The print quality is excellent.

     \L - (Laser) Top quality 6 pass printing.
           In this mode,  the print  head  moves  at  one  half
           standard printer speed.    Use this mode for your most
           important printing,  or if your    printer  ribbon  is
           getting old.

    The  above  print  qualities  are  distinct  from  selecting
    standard printer draft mode by having a "-D" on the  command
    line  that  invokes  IMAGEPRINT.  (See the Section "Starting
    IMAGEPRINT - An overview").


      CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES:

    \B - BOLD
           Toggle bold mode.  Bold characters appear darker and
           thicker in appearance. Example:

               \bThis is bold\b, this is not
               \BThis is bold\c, this is not

           This mode corresponds to the IBM Graphics  Printer's
           ESC "E" (emphasized) mode.

     \H - HALF HIGH
           Toggle half high  mode.    Half  high  characters    are
           compressed  in  the  vertical  direction,  much like
           subscript or superscript characters  appear  on    the
           standard IBM Graphics Printer.

               \hThis is half high\h, this is not
               \HThis is half high\C, this is not

           The IBM Graphics Printer has no equivalent mode.

     \I - ITALIC
           Toggle italic mode.  Italic characters lean  to    the
           right.

               \iThis is italic\i, this is not
               \IThis is italic\C, this is not

           The IBM Graphics Printer has no equivalent mode.

     \U - UNDERLINE
           Toggle underline  mode.    Characters  received  after
           this   command  will  be  underlined.   A  space  is
           considered a character,    and will be underlined too,
           unless formatting (".EN") and left and right  justi-
           fication  (".WW")  are  enabled,  in which case only
           printable characters can be underlined.

               \uThis is underlined\u, this is not
               \UThis is underlined\c, this is not

           This mode corresponds to the IBM Graphics  Printer's
           ESC "-" mode.

     \W - DOUBLE WIDTH
           Toggle double width mode. One double width character
           takes up exactly 2 normal character widths.

           If formatting is enabled (".EN"),  you must not span
           spaces, line feeds, or tabs in double width mode. If
           you do, an error message will display on your compu-
           ter's screen.  The reason for  this  restriction  is
           that  a    line may break at any point and,  if double
           width mode is still active,  then the margins of the
           next  line  may    not  be  correctly located.  Double
           width can, however, encase a word that contains soft
           or hard hyphens.

      CHARACTER OFFSETS:

     \^ - SUPERSCRIPT
           Select  Superscripted  printing    for  the  following
           characters.  Use \N to exit this mode.

           This mode corresponds to the IBM Graphics  Printer's

     \V - SUBSCRIPT
           Select  subscripted  printing  for   the   following
           characters.  Use \N to exit this mode.

           This mode corresponds to the IBM Graphics  Printer's
           ESC "S1" mode.

     \N - NORMAL OFFSET
           Select    a   standard   offset    for  the  following
           characters.   The  offset  of  a  character  is    the
           distance  above or below the standard print position
           on  a  line.   This  command  ends  superscript    and
           subscript mode.

           Examples:

           \vThis is subscript, \^this is superscript,
           \nsubscript and superscript turned off.

           This  mode corresponds to the IBM Graphics Printer's

      CANCELLING CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES/OFFSETS:

     \C - CANCEL
           Cancel all character attributes    and  offsets.  This
           command    is  useful  because  keeping  track  of the
           current state of the toggling  commands    can  become
           difficult.  Bold,  Half high, Italic, Underline, and
           Double    width    are   all   cancelled,     plus    any
           superscripting and subscripting.


      PRINT DENSITY:

     \> - 10 CPI
           Select 10 characters per inch mode.

           This is the standard density  for  an  IBM  Graphics
           Printer. IMAGEPRINT defaults to this density.

     \| - 12 CPI
           Select 12 characters per inch mode. In this mode, 96
           characters will print on an 8" line.

           There  is  no  equivalent command on an IBM Graphics
           Printer.

     \< - COMPRESSED
           Select 17.1 characters per inch mode.  In this mode,
           132 characters will print on an 8" line.

           This  density  corresponds  to  the   IBM   Graphics
           Printer's compressed mode.

     \P - PROPORTIONAL
           Select  proportional  inter-character spacing.  This
           means that a "W" will take up more space than a "!".
           The number of characters that will print on  a  line
           depends on the accumulated character widths.

           There  is  no  equivalent command on an IBM Graphics

           Select 1/8 inches inter-line spacing.

           This corresponds to the IBM Graphics Printer's ESC
           "0" (zero) command.


      STRAIGHT THROUGH MODE:

     \[ - BEGIN STRAIGHT THROUGH MODE
           Text received  after  this  command  is    printed  in
           standard printer quality. The only backslash command
           recognized in this mode is the "END STRAIGHT THROUGH
           MODE" command ("\]").  All other backslash  commands
           received are printed as normal text.

           This mode is useful for mixing standard printing and
           IMAGEPRINT quality printing on the same page.  It is
           also useful for sending non-printing ASCII character
           values  (values    below  31 decimal,  1F hex) to your
           printer,  which    would  otherwise  be  swallowed  by
           IMAGEPRINT.

           Standard printing and  IMAGEPRINT  quality  printing
           cannot  be successfully mixed on the same line.    The
           character placement and paper movement will  not  be
           correct.

     \] - END STRAIGHT THROUGH MODE
           Characters  received  after this command are printed
           in IMAGEPRINT quality.  All backslash  commands    are
           enabled following this command.

      SOFT HYPHENS WHEN FORMATTING:

     \- - POTENTIAL WORD BREAK
           If formatting has been enabled (".EN"),    then a line
           can be broken any place a soft hyphen backslash com-
           mand "\-" appears in a word. To minimize the size of
           gaps  between words,  long words should be broken up
           into sections by the soft hyphen. Examples:

               "for\-mat\-ting"
               "il\-lus\-tra\-tion"


      PRINTING A BACKSLASH:

     \\ - DOUBLE BACKSLASH
           To print a single backslash  character,    put  double
           backslash  characters  in  the  input text,  with no
           intervening space.


      JX-80 COLOR CONTROL:

           For  those  of  you  that  have Epson JX-80 printers,
           IMAGEPRINT  has    facilities to change a line's color.
           It is not possible to intermingle different colors on
           the same line. If more than 1 color backslash command
           is on a    line,  the  left-most  command    is  the  one
           recognized for that line.  The backslash commands and
           the corresponding colors are:

           \!      BLACK
           \@      RED
           \$      BLUE
           \%      PURPLE
           \&      YELLOW
           \*      ORANGE

    FORMATTING COMMANDS

    IMAGEPRINT has text formatting capability  using  individual
    commands  that    specify  the  page  length,  left  and right
    margin, word wrap,  etc.  You can use IMAGEPRINT's backslash
    commands without enabling formatting.  Formatting is used if
    your word processor won't format your text properly,  or  if
    you want the microjustification feature of IMAGEPRINT.

    You must explicitly  turn  on  formatting  with  the  ENABLE
    FORMATTING  command  (".EN").  The  ".EN"  command must come
    before any other formatting  command.  Otherwise,  all    text
    preceding ".EN",  including formatting commands,  is printed
    literally.

    Each formatting command is preceded by a ".",  which must be
    the  FIRST  PRINTABLE  CHARACTER  ON  THE  LINE.  Formatting
    commands like this, that have a leading ".",  are called dot
    commands.  Only  one  dot  command  can  be  on a line.  The
    command type is made up of two characters,  upper  or  lower
    case,  following the dot,  separated from it by zero or more
    spaces.  There must be no  space  between  the    two  command
    characters.  If  there is an optional trailing variable,  it
    is separated from the command type  characters    by  zero  or
    more  spaces.  You  can have comments following the trailing
    variable,  separated from it by  at  least  one  space.  For
    example, the following commands are equivalent:

           . lf3
           .Lf     3   This is a comment - move paper 3 lines

    Depending on the type of command,  a trailing  variable  can
    either    be  a  literal    string,  or  a    relative or absolute
    numerical value.  An example of an absolute numerical  value
    in  a command is ".LM 3".  Following this command,  the left
    margin will be set to column 3.  An example  of  a  relative
    numerical  value  in a command is ".RM -10".  Following this
    command, the right margin shifts ten columns to the left.

    If  the  formatting  command  normally    expects  a  trailing
    variable,  and it is missing,  the default value is assumed.
    The default values of the variable parameters are:

           .PN 1    (page number 1)
           .PL 66    (page length = 66 lines, or 11 inches at)
             (6 lines/inch)
           .LS 1    (no extra gap between lines)
           .LM 1    (left margin = column 1)
           .RM 80    (right margin = column 80 for IMP80,)
             (column 136 for IMP136)
           No headers or footers


                                 20








                           USING IMAGEPRINT
     --------------------------------------------------------------


    These commands are explained in the following sections.

    The diskette file IMPTUTR2.TXT shows  IMAGEPRINT  formatting
    and  backslash    commands  in use and has extensive comments.
    The character positions each backslash command takes  up  is
    taken  into account during formatting.    The extra width gen-
    erated by the  DOUBLE  WIDTH  command  is  also  taken    into
    account.  The  double width and underline backslash commands
    should not span spaces or tabs or line    feeds.    Each  indiv-
    idual word should be "wrapped":

           \wdouble\w \wwidth\w \uunderlined\u
           \wsemi-detached\w
           \wsoft\w \why\-phen\w

    This  is  because  a  line may be broken at any point by the
    formatting.  The double width mode continuing on to the next
    line  can  cause  margin  shift  and  the  underlining    mode
    continuing  on    to the next line can cause leading spaces to
    be underlined.

    Note  that  if    you  span  spaces  or  tabs by ANY backslash
    command your headers and footers  can  be  affected.  Again,
    because  of formatting,  a line or page may be terminated at
    any point,  and the de-activating backslash command may  not
    have  been  reached  before the header or footer prints.  If
    the headers or footers contain backslash commands  then  the
    backslash  commands can get "out of sync".  For example,  if
    italic mode is active beyond the end of a page and a  footer
    prints that has a section of italic text, delimited by "\i",
    then  the first "\i" encountered in the footer will TURN OFF
    italic mode and the second will turn it back  ON.  In  other
    words,    the  section  of  text    in the footer that was to be
    italicized  will  be  the  only  text  in  the    footer     NOT
    italicized.

    Compressed,  12 characters per inch and  10  characters  per
    inch  cannot be mixed on a line that is to be left and right
    justified.  The left and right margins shift when  switching
    density.  Keep the entire document in one density or use the
    FORCE  PRINTING  formatting  command  (".FP")  to  clear the
    formatting buffer before changing density.

    If formatting has not been  enabled,  IMAGEPRINT  recognizes
    tabs,  line feeds, and form feeds.  If formatting is enabled
    (".EN"),  form feed characters are ignored.  If  formatting,
    use the ".PA" dot command to move to the next page.

     .EN  ENABLE FORMATTING
          Default: not enabled.

           If  you    are  going  to use IMAGEPRINT's dot command
           formatting capabilities,  include the enable command
           in  your  text  before  any  other  dot    command  or
           printable text.    Once ".EN" has been  sent,  all  of
           the  dot  commands  are    recognized.   Otherwise  no
           scanning for dot commands takes place and  all  text
           is printed literally.  Backslash commands are always
           enabled, except in the special case of "\[".

           Formatting is not initially enabled because you    may
           have   already  formatted  your    text  with  a  word
           processor or you may not want formatting.

           When  ".EN"  is    first encountered in the input text
           the  values  for  variable parameters are set to the
           default values.

           ".EN" should only be sent once.

           There  is  no  "disable    formatting"  command.  Once
           enabled,   formatting  is  active  until  IMAGEPRINT
           returns    to  the  operating system.  You can get the
           effect of disabled formatting if you send the  ".NW"
           command    and  set the left margin to 1 and the right
           margin to the width of your  printer.  If  you  have
           defined    headers  and  footers,    there  is no way to
           cancel them.

     .PL x    PAGE LENGTH
         x default:  66 lines,  or 11 inches at  6    lines/inch.
           Set  page  length  to x lines.  If you don't specify
           headers and footers, the entire page is available to
           you for    printing  text.  The  page  length  command
           normally  appears  once    in  a document,  before the
           first printable text.

     .PN x    PAGE NUMBER
         x default: 1
           Set the current    page  number.  If  an  "&&"  string
           appears    in  a  header  or footer,  the current page
           number will be substituted.  The page number  incre-
           ments automatically as each page is printed.

     .PA  MOVE TO NEXT PAGE
           This  command  forces  the  current  contents of the
           print buffer to be sent to the printer and moves the
           paper  to  the  top  of    the next page.    If you have
           specified  headers  and    footers,  they    will  auto-
           matically print.  If you are already at the top of a
           new page, this command will have no effect.


     HEADERS AND FOOTERS:

    A header is the text that automatically prints at the top of
    each page and a footer is the text that automatically prints
    at  the  bottom  of each page. (You can define blank headers
    and footers for "perforation skip")

    IMAGEPRINT allows a variable number of header  and  footer
    lines  on  both even and odd pages.  You might have 3 even
    page headers, 5 odd page headers,  2 even page footers and
    3  odd page footers.  If you specify only 1 kind of header
    or footer, it will print on both even and odd pages.

    Three  dots  "..."  in    a  header  or  footer string cause
    justification to take place. For example:

           .EF ...even page footer, right justified
           .EF    even page footer, left justified...
           .EF ...even page footer, centered...
           .EF left justified...centered...right justified

    If the header or footer is longer than the width specified
    by the ".SW" (set width) command, it will be truncated.

    Headers and footers do not shift  if  the  left  or  right
    margins are altered. The only way to shift the headers and
    footers is with the ".EE" and ".OE" commands.

    If the header or footer string contains  an  "&&"  string,
    then  the current page number is substituted for the "&&".

    The header/footer storage pool holds about 950 characters.
    This  is more than most people will ever need.    If you run
    out of room by specifying a lot  of  headers  and  footers
    (and  get  the    error  message),  you  may  not  be taking
    advantage of "...".  The headers and footers are justified
    and expanded as they are printed and do not take  up  much
    room in storage.

    The  file IMPTUTR2.TXT shows all four types of headers and
    footers in use.

    .EH string  EVEN PAGE HEADER
         Default: empty

           For example, the following dot commands would cause a
           5 line header to print on all even pages, and all odd
           pages too,  if no odd header had been defined.  The 2
           printing  header  lines    would be preceded by 1 blank
           line and followed by 2 blank lines.  The  first    line
           of  document text would be immediately below the last
           header line, on line 6.

           Same format as ".EH" above

    .OF string  ODD PAGE FOOTER
         Default: empty
           Same format as ".EH" above

    .SW x  SET HEADER AND FOOTER WIDTH
         x default: 80 for IMP80.EXE, 136 for IMP136.EXE
           This command allows you to  set    the  length  of  the
           headers    and  footers  and  thus the header or footer
           right  margin  when  using   justification   ("...").
           Headers    and footers are truncated if they are longer
           than the ".SW" value.

    .LI x  LINES PER INCH
         x default: 6
           Only two values for x are recognized:  6 or 8  lines
           per  inch.  All other values are ignored.  Six lines
           per inch works well with proportional, 12 and 10 cpi
           characters.  Eight lines per inch  works  well  with
           compressed (17.1 cpi) characters.

           Switching  the lines per inch value in the middle of
           printing  a  document  can  cause   page   alignment
           problems.

    .LS x  LINE SPACING
         x default: 1
           x is the number of line feeds  between  text  lines.
           For  example,  to  print  on  every other line, send
           ".LS 2".

    .PP x  START PARAGRAPH
         x default: 0
           The paper will move down one  line,  and  the  first
           line of the new paragraph will be indented x spaces.

    .WW    WORD WRAP WITH JUSTIFICATION
          Default: enabled
           Turn on left  and  right  justification    within    the
           boundaries  of  the  left and right margins.

           If  the line is too short,  spaces are inserted into
           the line following punctuation characters  ("."    ","
           "?" "!").  If IMAGEPRINT quality mode was  selected,
           and  the line is still not left and right justified,
           then the line is micro-justified by  increasing    the
           gap between words by an equal amount.  If draft mode
           was  selected  ("-D"  on  the  command  line),  then
           justification is done by padded with spaces.

           The soft hyphen ("\-") backslash command can be used
           to break extra-long words up into  smaller  segments
           so  less  spaces  are needed to justify a line.    For
           example,  "dynamite" can be broken up  into  3  sec-
           tions: "dy\-na\-mite". Lines will also break at hard
           hyphens. e.g. "semi-detached".

           Proportionally  spaced  lines ("\P") cannot be right
           justified.

    .NW    NO WORD WRAP
          Default: disabled
           Cancel the ".WW" command above. Text sent after this
           command will not be right justified.

           To keep a table or chart  from  being  automatically
           formatted, use the ".NW" command to turn off format-
           ting. For example:

           .nw  disable formatting
               Qty     Code    Price   Total

           indent is added to the value of the left margin, not
           the left side of the paper.  The current contents of
           the print buffer will be printed before the  tempor-
           arily indented line is printed.

    .CE    CENTER LINE
           Center the following line of text between  the  left

           Any characters in  the  formatting  buffer  will  be
           printed,  even  if word wrap mode is enabled and the
           right margin has not been reached. You must use this
           command to empty the print  buffer  before  changing
           the  left  or right margins.  Otherwise the buffered
           text will print within the new margin settings.

    .LF x  FORCE PAPER MOVEMENT
         x default: 1
           Move  the  paper  x lines.  If x is greater than the

           Suppose    you  want  to  print a document,  including
           headers and footers, at 17.1 (compressed) characters
           per inch density,  rather than the default  10  cpi.
           Usually    backslash  commands,  embedded in a line of
           text,  are acted on as that line of text is printed.
           If  you    precede  the  first  line  of  text in your
           document with "\<",  by the time the first  line  of
           text  prints,  any headers will have already printed
           at  10  cpi.   To  get  around  this,   precede    any
           printable text with ".!! \<".

    .. string  COMMENTS
           If  the    dot in column 1 is followed by another dot,
           separated from it by zero or more spaces,  then    the
           entire line is considered to be a comment line,    and
           is ignored by IMAGEPRINT. For example:
               .. This is a comment line
               .       .This is also a comment line

    .RR   RAGGED RIGHT MARGIN
          Default: disabled
           Format text,  printing lines  between  the  left  and
           right margins, but don't right justify.    This command
           turns off word wrap (".WW") and no word wrap  (".NW")
           commands.

                           USING IMAGEPRINT
     --------------------------------------------------------------


    USING WITH A WORD PROCESSOR/TEXT EDITOR

    Using a text editor or word processor,    create the  diskette
    file you wish to print with IMAGEPRINT.  Your word processor
    must be able to create standard ASCII files, containing only
    printable  characters,    to  work  correctly with IMAGEPRINT.
    There must be no word processor  formatting  information  or
    special  printer  control  codes contained in the file.  You
    must exit from your word processor to use IMAGEPRINT, unless
    you are using "typewriter" mode.

    Note  -  See the description of THE IMAGE PRINTING UTILITIES
    in the Appendix if you wish to print directly from your word
    processor, spreadsheet, etc.  without first having to create
    an intermediate ASCII file.

    Creating  a  standard  ASCII  file  can  be  accomplished as
    follows for the following common word proccessing programs:

      WORDSTAR : Use non-document mode.

      WORDSTAR V4 : Print to disk, selecting "ASCII" as the
      printer type.

      WORDSTAR 2000 :  When you edit a file, use the format
      file "UNFORM.FRM".

      MULTIMATE : Use "TTYCRLS.PAT" as a generic printer
      definition file. Select "print to file" from the print
      menu.

      WORDPERFECT : Save your work as a "DOS" file.

      MICROSOFT WORD : Save as unformatted file or print to
      disk using plain vanilla printer driver.

      VOLKSWRITER : Select plain vanilla printer driver and
      print to disk.

    USING WITH PC-WRITE

    PC-Write is a full feature word  processor  offered  to  the
    public    under  the  Shareware  program    by Bob Wallace,  its
    originator.  PC-Write is ideal for use with IMAGEPRINT.

    Included  on  the  IMAGEPRINT diskette are support files for
    both versions 2.4 through 2.55,  version 2.6 and version 2.7
    of  PC-Write.

    For  versions  of PC-Write before 2.7,    PC-WRITE.DEF defines
    the [ALT + 1 key] formatting symbols  that  appear  on    your


                                 28








                           USING IMAGEPRINT
     --------------------------------------------------------------


    screen,  and  also  the backslash command substitutions that
    occur  when  printing.     PCWRT24.HLP  and  PCWRT26.HLP     are
    patches to the on-line help screens.

    For version 2.7,  the file PC-WRT27.DOC contains an  explan-
    ation of using IMAGEPRINT with PC-Write, and the file PR.DEF
    is the printer definition file.

    The PC-Write manual should be read in combination  with  the
    following notes.

    PC-Write version 2.4 through 2.55:

      Incorporate the character  assignments  contained  in  PC-
      WRITE.DEF into your RULER.DEF and RULER.PRT files.

      The file PCWRT24.HLP should be substituted  for  the    last
      help    screen    in  the  standard  PC-Write  file HELPE.DEF.
      Versions of  PC-Write  earlier  than    2.4  didn't  display
      formatting characters on the help screens, and PCWRT24.HLP
      contains  not only the ALT commands,    but also the visible
      formatting characters.  You can use  PC-Write  to  do  the
      editing.  Once  this    change    is  done,  all    of  the  ALT
      keystrokes and  corresponding  formatting  characters  are
      displayed in the last screen of the on-line help.

      When creating a file to print with IMAGEPRINT,  be sure to
      run  PR.EXE  to  convert the ALT keystroke characters into
      backslash commands.

    PC-Write version 2.6:

      Incorporate  the  character  assignments  contained in PC-
      WRITE.DEF into your ED.DEF and PR.DEF files.

      PCWRT26.HLP is a small patch file that should  be  substi-
      tuted  for  the  part of the text file ED.HLP that is dis-
      played when the "Enhance text" topic is  selected  on  the
      main    help  menu.  You can use PC-Write to do the editing.

    PC-Write version 2.7:

      See the file PC-WRT27.DOC.

    When using PC-Write,  you must double up your ALT keystrokes
    when selecting an IMAGEPRINT facility.    For example,  ALT"W"
    + ALT"W" is the  equivalent  of  one  "\W".  This   doubling
    is  necessary  because    PC-Write  automatically  cancels all
    active attributes at the end of  every    line,  so  you    must
    make  it  seem    as  though  the  attribute  has already been
    cancelled.  All  doubled  up  ALT keystrokes persist  beyond


                                 29








                           USING IMAGEPRINT
     --------------------------------------------------------------


    the  current  line.  The  characters  assigned    to  the  ALT
    keystrokes are not logically part of the text and they don't
    affect     paragraph  justification.   You  can  toggle  their
    visibility by pressing ALT + the space bar.

    Remember that you must always "print" to a  disk  file    that
    will be the input source for IMAGEPRINT.

    Note  that you cannot use any of IMAGEPRINT's dot formatting
    commands if you are using  PR.EXE  to  format  your  printed
    output.  IMAGEPRINT's  dot formatting commands conflict with
    PC-Write's dot commands.

    ERROR MESSAGES

    ERROR - Bad syntax. Should be:
           IMP80 inputfile [LPTx:]      (x = 1,2,3)

     This is a reminder of the correct way to  run    IMAGEPRINT.
     You  probably forgot to specify the input source.  See the
     Section "Starting IMAGEPRINT - An overview" for details.

    ERROR - Default font file (FONT1) not found or invalid

     The default font is Cubic (FONT1). IMAGEPRINT always tries
     to load FONT1 when it is invoked.  This message appears if
     FONT1 is not on the currently active drive,  or it doesn't
     contain the right data.

    ERROR - Font file not found or invalid: ????????

     Either  the font file you specified in a backslash command
     is not on  the  currently  active  drive,  or    it  doesn't
     contain the right data.

    ERROR - Invalid 2nd parameter - printer

     Your  printer    port  specification  is  either  misspelled
     (LPR1:),   or    there  is  no    parallel   port   available
     corresponding to your selection. Perhaps you have tried to
     select  LPT2:    when  you have only 1 parallel port on your
     computer.

     Your  text input file cannot be found.  Make sure you have
     spelled all names correctly.

    ERROR - Input file fault

     An  error  was detected while reading from the input file.
     This  can occur if you removed the diskette IMAGEPRINT was
     reading from, or if a diskette read error occurs.

     paper, or was taken off line.

     The amount of time that must pass before a time-out  error
     is  detected  depends    on  the  operating  system  of your
     computer, not on IMAGEPRINT.

    ERROR - Invalid backslash command: '\?'

     An unrecognizable backslash command has been sent to IMAGE-
     PRINT.  The question mark above represents  the  erroneous

    TECHNICAL NOTES

    FONT1  is  the    default  font  and  is    always    loaded    when
    IMAGEPRINT  is first invoked.  If you are a registered user,
    with six fonts,  you can rename another font to "FONT1", and
    thus define your own personal default.    Don't forget to make
    a copy of the standard FONT1 (Cubic) first if you do this.

    The effective dot density of IMAGEPRINT is 216 dots per inch
    vertically by 240 dots per inch horizontally.

    IMAGEPRINT normally positions the print head 1/14 of an inch
    above  the  next print line.  This is done so that unusually
    tall characters can  print  correctly.    If  you  need  exact
    paper  positioning,  just before running IMAGEPRINT position
    the top of the page slightly lower,  relative to  the  print
    head,  than you would otherwise, because the paper will move
    1/14 of an inch before the first line is printed.

    IMAGEPRINT works by driving  the  printer  in  dot  graphics
    mode.  Printing  an  80 column line of text means that about
    6000 bytes are sent to the printer.  If a transmission error
    occurs and a byte or two is lost,  then  the  graphics    byte
    count  is  wrong,  and    you  can  end  up  printing a lot of
    garbage.  If this happens, turn the printer off and wait for
    the operating system to time out (if your computer is set up
    to time out),  or wait for the printer to resynchronize with
    IMAGEPRINT.  This shouldn't take more than 1 print pass.

    Just  as  on  the  standard  IBM Graphics Printer,  graphics
    characters do not print correctly in half-high mode.

    All non-printing characters  between  ASCII  0    and  31  are
    ignored,  except for horizontal tab (9), line feed (10), and
    form feed (12).  To send a  non-printing  character  to  the
    printer, use the STRAIGHT THROUGH MODE ("\[ ... \]").

      THE IMAGE PRINTING UTILITIES

    THE IMAGE PRINTING UTILITIES combines METATEXT Version 3 and
    IMAGEPRINT Version 3.

    IMAGEPRINT Version 3 includes many enhancements over earlier
    versions:
        - Full-screen menu operation
        - Much faster loading of fonts
        - Selective printing of pages
        - High quality single and double line graphics
          characters
        - 80 or 136 column operation with one program

    METATEXT Version 3 offers  the    same  high  quality  printed
    output as IMAGEPRINT, but is much easier and simpler to use.
    METATEXT   DOESN'T  ALTER  THE    REGULAR  OPERATION  OF    YOUR
    COMPUTER OR SOFTWARE IN ANY WAY.  Basically, all you have to
    do  is    load  METATEXT    and  then  use    your computer as you
    normally would.

    Once METATEXT has been    loaded,  it  becomes  part  of    your
    computer's operating system,  automatically intercepting and
    enhancing data you send to your printer.  You do not have to
    exit your  word  processor  to    print,    as  you  would    with
    IMAGEPRINT.  YOU  CAN  TOGGLE METATEXT ON AND OFF BY USING A
    USER-SELECTABLE "HOT-KEY" COMBINATION ON YOUR  KEYBOARD.  No
    hardware is needed.

    METATEXT is designed to be compatible with word  processors,
    data  base  programs,  spreadsheets,  etc.  It is completely
    compatible  with  Lotus  123,  Symphony,   Word,   WordStar,
    WordPerfect,  Multimate,  PC-Write etc., because it emulates
    an  IBM  Graphics  Printer,  recognizing  a superset of that
    printer's control codes.

    Up to 8 fonts can be loaded with METATEXT,  allowing instant
    font switching.  When only  one  font  is  loaded,  METATEXT
    takes up about 35K of RAM.

    METATEXT has been voted one of    the  top  100  microcomputer
    software  packages  for  the  IBM PC by PRACTICAL COMPUTING.

    A 100+ page professionally  printed  manual  comes with  THE
    IMAGE  PRINTING  UTILITIES.   Sixteen  fonts  are  included:
    Courier, Cubic, Elite, Italic,    Orator,  Typewriter,  Roman,
    Outline,   OCRA,   OCRB,   Small,   Pica,  Block,  Graphics,
    Spreadsheet and Clifton.  You can see these fonts by running
    the FONTDEMO program included on the IMAGEPRINT disk.

      BASIC WINDOWING TOOLBOX

    BASIC  WINDOWING  TOOLBOX  (B-WINDOW)  is  a  collection  of
    functions that give windowing capability  to  a  BASIC    pro-
    grammer  using    an IBM Personal Computer or true compatible.
    With B-WINDOW you can write BASIC programs  that  look    much
    more  visually    exciting  and  professional.  Windows can be
    opened over sections of the screen and when the windows  are
    closed,  the  original    contents  of  the  screen  reappear.
    Special  windowing  cursor  control,  string  and  character
    display  and  border  drawing are included.  And B-WINDOW is
    lightning-fast because it is written entirely in assembler.

    In addition to windowing functions,  B-WINDOW also gives you
    access    to  the  interrupt  structure  of  an  IBM  Personal
    Computer, and also allows you to reassign printer ports.

    The B-WINDOW functions come in two formats:  1) Binary files
    that are BLOADable by interpreted BASIC, and 2) ".OBJ" files
    that can be linked to your compiled BASIC program.  Programs
    that  use B-WINDOW can be developed using a BASIC interpret-
    er. When a program is fully debugged, it can be compiled.

     170 CALL WWRITE (S$)
     180 ' Close most recently opened window
     190 CALL WCLOSE

    B-WINDOW  is  fully  compatible with IBM and Microsoft BASIC
    interpreters, and IBM and Microsoft BASIC compilers, includ-
    ing the Microsoft QuickBASIC compiler.

    B-WINDOW is User-Supported Software.  Registering only costs
    $20,  shipping    included,  and    you can pay by MasterCard or
    Visa.

    Software developers - if you credit Image  Computer  Systems
    in your product,  there is no restriction on using B-WINDOW.

    RULES AND REGULATIONS

      COPYING IMAGEPRINT

    An  IMAGEPRINT    distribution  diskette    has  only  one font,
    Cubic.     Individuals  may  make  copies  of  the  IMAGEPRINT
    distribution   diskette   and    give   it   to     friends  or

    IMAGE COMPUTER SYSTEMS - A PROFILE

    Image  Computer  Systems  is   a   software   and   hardware
    development company that has been supplying OEMs and systems
    houses    with  specialized  dot    matrix    and  laser   printer
    products since 1974.

    There are two Image Computer Systems locations: in Connecti-
    cut,  USA and in Dorset,  England.  In general,  the English
    part  of  the  company    is  hardware  oriented,  and the USA
    operation is almost totally software oriented.

    Unlike    many  other  developers,  we take the User-Supported
    software concept seriously.  Products  like  IMAGEPRINT  get
    wide  exposure    and  not  only    bring  revenue    when  people
    register, but also let people know about our other products.
    For example, it works as a great advertising vehicle for THE
    IMAGE PRINTING UTILITIES.
