- Code.Print (TM) for Visual Basic Version 2.20
- Updated: December 1992
-
- QUICK START:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1. Copy program files:
- Copy CPVB.EXE, CPSET.EXE, and CPVB.HLP to the same directory (C:\VB
- or C:\CPVB) If you have a previous version of Code.Print delete
- the old CPVB.EXE and CPVB.INI files or move them to another directory.
-
- 2. Run CPSET.EXE
- Code.Print won't function until you run the setup program CPSET.EXE.
- Because CPSET.EXE generates the initial CPVB.INI file CPSET.EXE
- MUST be run from the same directory as the CPVB.EXE file. You
- have to run CPSET.EXE one time only.
-
- 3. Create Program Item
- You will have to create your own Program Item (and Program Group if
- you want) for Code.Print. The main executable file is CPVB.EXE.
-
- 4. Run CPVB.EXE (Code.Print)
- All user documentation is contained in the Windows on-line help file
- CPVB.HLP. Be sure this file is in the same directory as CPVB.EXE.
- You can access help from the main menu of Code.Print.
-
- 5. Prepare Visual Basic files for Code.Print
- Code.Print processes Visual Basic 2.0 forms and modules that are
- saved in ASCII format. (Check the Save As Text box in the Save File
- As... dialog box.) Code.Print can also process TXT files created
- using the Save Text command. Files saved in binary format in both
- VB 1.0 and VB 2.0 cannot be processed by Code.Print.
-
- FILE LIST:
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The file PACKING.LST contains a complete list of all files you
- should have in this package.
-
- OTHER FILES REQUIRED BY CODE.PRINT
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Code.Print for Visual Basic requires the Visual Basic runtime
- dynamic link library, VBRUN200.DLL and CMDIALOG.VBX. Be sure they
- are in your \WINDOWS subdirectory. CMDIALOG.VBX is included with
- this distribution package. To conserve space and avoid needless
- duplication and added download time, VBRUN200.DLL is NOT included
- with this distribution package. VBRUN200.DLL should be available
- from the vendor or BBS where you obtained Code.Print. This
- program requires Windows 3.1.
-
-
- NETWORKS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Code.Print for Visual Basic maintains the file CPVB.INI to store
- configuration information. If you are installing Code.Print for
- Visual Basic onto a network drive, be sure anyone using Code.Print
- can write to that directory. Printing to a network may require you
- to set the Code.Print "Print While Processing" check box to off.
- This makes Code.Print generate the output as a single multi-page
- print job. If "Print While Processing" is checked, each page is
- generated as a separate document and thus will be treated by the
- network as a separate print job.
-
- You may need to adjust the timeout setting on the print server.
- The Code.Print output stream is not continuous and causes some
- networks to believe the document is finished prematurely. If
- adjusting the timeout has no effect, redirect the output to a file
- or use a spooler program to collect the output before sending it
- to the network.
-
- DOCUMENTATION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Code.Print for Visual Basic is an easy to use program. All of the
- functions contained in Code.Print for Visual Basic are documented in
- the Windows on-line help system. There is no user manual.
-
-
- LICENSE AND REGISTRATION

- in in the file REGISTER.DOC.

-
-
- PRINTERS, FONTS, DRIVERS, ETC...
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Code.Print for Visual Basic is designed to use the printer fonts and
- drivers that are available in your current Windows environment.
- Printing speed will depend on what fonts and drivers you are using.
- It is best to experiment. Some fonts can be slower than others.
- Code.Print will display a message "Waiting for Printer..." while the
- printer driver is processing page and font data. Since processing
- has been passed from the program to your printer driver, Code.Print
- will not respond immediately to a cancelation request while the
- "Waiting for Printer..." message is displayed.
-
-
- NOTE! Code.Print does not work with the Generic / Text Only Printer
- Driver. This driver does not respond to any font or style operations
- and generates an error condition on every attempt to change the
- printer object. Code.Print will try to gracefully back out of this
- situation but will probably crash and dump the program. This driver
- is guaranteed NOT TO WORK. If you are using a dot matrix printer
- and want fast output, use the high speed fonts available in many dot
- matrix drivers.
