- VERSION 3.3
- -------------------------
- o Corrected behavior of '/WHITE' command-line option when used
- with either '/DUAL' or '/ODD' options. Whitespace will appear
- about the gutter when specified with these two options. That
- is whitespace is on the left on odd-numbered pages and on the
- right on even-numbered pages.
-
- o Minor code changes to support move to BORLAND C++ 3.1 compiler.
- NO, it is still not C++ code!
-
- VERSION 3.2
- -------------------------
- o Renamed the '/ANALYZE' command-line switch to '/TEST' which
- seems to make a whole lot more sense. Version 3.1 never hit
- the streets so this couldn't affect anyone.
-
- VERSION 3.1
- -------------------------
- o Added the '/ANALYZE' command-line switch. This switch
- cause CRAM to report an input file analysis as if it
- was actually processing output CRAM files. This is useful
- if you wish to test the given command-line switches without
- actually generating the output files. This switch reports:
- number of formfeeds found, number of CRAMmed pages that would
- be generated, longest page (from formfeed to formfeed or EOF)
- in the input file, and the longest line in the input file.
-
- VERSION 3.0
- -------------------------
- o Added complete support of HP LASERJET printers. A six-point
- softfont is provided for use. The font provided is my own
- creation. It loads itself into HP font number 1006 (it's a
- six point font, get it!). Simply issue the following command
- to load the font.
-
- COPY CRAM.SFT/B PRN
-
- o CRAM command-line options may now be set via the DOS
- environment variable, 'CRAM'. For example, the following
- line placed in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file will configure CRAM
- to respect formfeeds and generate output for the HPLJ.
-
- SET CRAM=/HPLJ/FF
-
- Any option can be specified in the environment variable.
-
- o An output filename is no longer required. The resultant
- output file will have the same input filename with the
- extension '.CRM'. The exception is when odd/even or dual
- page support is requested.
-
- o Added support for automatic odd/even page generation. This
- feature will automatically generate odd and even pages into
- separate output files. For example, the following command
- line would produce two-sided output.
-
- CRAM CRAM.C /DUAL
-
- This generates odd pages in CRAM.ODD and even pages in CRAM.EVN.
- Each can be separately printed then.
-
- o Added support for odd/even page generation. This feature
- effectively provides two-sided operation for printers that
- do not provide the functionality. For example, the following
- command lines would produce two-sided output.
-
- CRAM CRAM.C CRAM.ODD /ODD
- CRAM CRAM.C CRAM.EVN /EVEN
- PRINT CRAM.ODD
- ... turn paper over
- PRINT CRAM.EVEN
-
- VERSION 2.2
- -------------------------
-
- o Added some default support for LJ printers. Prior to this
- release, CRAM.DAT had to be used. While not totally
- transparent yet, the hooks are there for someone if they
- would need to modify the code.
-
- o Minor code changes to support move to BORLAND C++ compiler.
- NO, it is not C++ code!
-
- VERSION 2.1
- -------------------------
-
- o Removed the redundant '/RIGHT' command-line switch. If you
- want one column then specify '/COL=1'.
-
- o Added the '/WHITE=N' command-line switch. This switch specifies
- the amount of white space that appears at the beginning of each
- line. This, of course, reduces the numbers of input characters
- that may be displayed.
-
-
- VERSION 2.0
- -------------------------
-
- o Added >2 column capability. CRAM will now format for upto
- ten columns of display output. This will help those of you
- that already use other COLUMN programs to format narrow items
- like address lists for processing by CRAM.
-
- o The '/MAX' command-line argument which used to switch to ELITE
- formatting has been deleted since that is the now the default.
- To get the old default (the print size is slightly larger but
- you get less characters/line), the new command-line argument
- '/LARGE' has been added.
-
- o The proverbial CODE CLEANUP.
-
-
- VERSION 1.2
- -------------------------
-
- o First cut at greater than two column formatting. I got
- tired of using other COLUMN programs then feeding the
- output to CRAM. I needed to print >2 columns on ocassion
- and it looked pretty easy to implement, so this internal
- version was born to support the effort.
-
-
- VERSION 1.1
- -------------------------
-
- o Added ELITE printing to existing PICA capability; with the
- new '/MAX' command-line switch, 158 chars could be printed
- on an 8½ X 11 page versus the old 136 characters.
-
-
- VERSION 1.0
- -------------------------
-
- o Initial Release!
