- Release History
-
- 2.1 08/08/90 Substantially increased Dot matrix and custom init/
- reset string support. Added modes /FB[P,S], /FI[A,P,S]
- /I2 and /X. Added /Z parameter. Converted all code to
- object oriented methodology <finally!!>.
-
- 2.0 07/02/90 Introduced modes: /CN, C3, C4. LsrPrint now displays
- the options in effect during each run (or after the
- help message). Includes LsReset and Chuck programs.
- Redirect functions on any ASCII text file (also replaces
- Tabs with spaces).
-
- 1.8c 06/21/90 This is a test version distributed to friends and
- "family" only. It contains the following enhancements:
- EOL Treatment : the /E parameter
- Mainframe Print file conversion : the /FBA parameter.
-
- 1.7 05/29/90 General release. Time String on header now is
- zero filled (i.e. 12:01:30 instead of 12:1:30).
- Writing to screen is now done through DOS and not
- directly to video memory. LsrPrint now will run on
- virtually all weird iron, in multitasker windows,
- and allows redirection of the normal screen output to
- a file (via DOS > redirector). Added O option (send
- print output to a file) and redirect.exe.
-
- 1.6 05/21/90 Added D (Dos Services) option. Improved code around
- error detection. LsrPrint waited a little too patiently
- for your printer (sometimes forever). Corrected C2
- init string (IBM US was not being set as default
- font). This release was sent only as a Beta to a
- few people.
-
- 1.5 05/15/90 C2 option did not work properly on HP P and D models
- due to incorrect init string. Modified init string
- (see above) to set top margin prior to setting page
- length. C2 now works properly across HP laser line
- (and compatibles). Improved code around the job
- cancellation function (Escape Key).
-
- 1.4 05/10/90 C2 display changed to "Page" type display (looks great).
- C2 defaults for W and L changed to W80 and L66. M option
- disabled for C2 mode. Changed fundamental method in which
- data was transmitted to printer (Rom Bios Int 17). Error
- detection is improved when writing to a parallel port.
- As long as your PC is sort of IBM-PC compatible everything
- should be fine. This program was tested on older clone
- machines not known for their compatibility as well as
- using a serial port via a print director. Added /S
- customization options (See Text for More).
-
- 1.3 05/02/90 C2 parameter added. Changed defaults to NP from CP and
- Tab Expansion to 8. This seems to be the preferred
- default. (I prefer /C2 /T4 as my defaults).
- Corrected some default /W parameters. Changed Header.
-
- 1.2 04/23/90 Bugfix. It's amazing what test data doesn't catch.
- The 1.1 Ascii 12 fix had some side effects, including
- not properly counting lines. The header will now
- appear on the top of the printed form. Page ejects
- will occur at the proper place.
-
- 1.1 04/17/90 Properly supports the Form Feed (Ascii 12) character
- when printing forms. Page counts via /# parameter
- include Ascii 12 counts.
-
- 1.0 04/13/90 Original Release
