- COMFAX JUSTIFY PROGRAM
-
- Copyright (c) 1984 ComFax
-
- This program gives many popular, low-priced printers the capability of
- producing justified copy (i.e., flush left AND RIGHT margins), a feature
- normally found only on expensive printers. While many justification programs
- add space only between words -- and then only in increments of 1/10 inch --
- ours adds space evenly between words AND between LETTERS in increments of 1/120
- inch! This maintains the normal word-space to letter-space ratio regardless of
- the total amount of space added in each line. The result is a professional
- appearing document with no awkward gaps between words.
-
- This program was written for use on the IBM-PC or any compatible unit. It
- also requires a printer with graphics capability. The following printers are
- supported: IBM, EPSON FX80, EPSON RX80, EPSON MX80, STAR MICRONICS GEMINI 10X,
- STAR MICRONICS GEMINI 15X, STAR MICRONICS DELTA 10, AND STAR MICRONICS DELTA
- 15.
-
- When creating a file that you may want to print with this program, a line
- will not be justified if either of the following conditions is true:
-
- 1. The first seven columns after the left margin are blank.
-
- 2. The last eighteen columns before the right margin are blank.
-
- Also, if you will want the printer to skip to a new page before the
- current one is full, simply key in a form-feed (ALT-1-2) in any position of a
- line. This character position will not apprear in the printed line, and the
- next character will overlay this position. However, the printer will skip to a
- new page after this line, and the line counter will be reset to zero.
-
- To execute this program:
-
- 1. Key 'JUSTIFY`
- 2. Hit Enter
- 3. Answer the prompts. To use a default (enclosed in '<>'), simply hit
- Enter.
-
- The margins MUST be set the same as when you keyed the document.
- Otherwise, the program will not work correctly. If you want to change the
- margins within your document, key the instructions below into your file just
- BEFORE the location of each change. You may change the margins as many times
- as you like within your document. However, the instructions MUST start at the
- CURRENT LEFT MARGIN, and the RIGHT MARGIN INSTRUCTION MUST BE LISTED FIRST.
- Also, the text in your file MUST NOT extend beyond the margin positions you
- specify in the instructions. The following instructions would set the margins
- at positions 75 (right) and 6 (left):
-
- ..RMARG75
- ..LMARG6
-
- A path may be specified in the file name. If it is, the program will
- restore the old path after it opens the file.
-
- Examples of file names:
-
- B:\SUBDIR1\SUBDIR2\FILE1.EXT (WITH PATH)
-
- \SUBDIR1\SUBDIR2\FILE1.EXT (WITH PATH)
-
- B:FILE1.EXT (WITHOUT PATH)
-
- FILE1.EXT (WITHOUT PATH)

- To print this tutorial with the COMFAX JUSTIFY PROGRAM, execute "JUSTIFY"
