- ProComm Documentation Files
-
-
- Beginning with version 2.4, we are providing 2 types of document files.
- The first type, which on our board is named PRCMDOC.ARC, contains
- formatting which will produce bold face and underlined text on almost any
- printer. The second type, named PRCMDOCP.ARC, contains straight ASCII
- text with no formatting.
-
- The formatting that we do is simple over-printing. On a line that
- contains boldface or underlined text, we end the line with only a CR,
- rather than a CR/LF. Then we simply overwrite the line with some text
- (for boldface) or underlines to produce the desired effect. This simple
- method will work on almost any printer. The formatted document, however,
- will appear somewhat weird when viewed online due to the extra lines.
