- SIZEIT DOCUMENTATION
-
-
- (For IBM or Compatible)
-
-
- Sizeit is a memory resident program that allows you the opportunity to
- measure on screen the exact size of the space that will be used on paper
- when you print the item shown on the screen. This is very useful when you
- have a particular location and only a certain amount of space in a
- document that you are composing in which to place special information.
- Just use Sizeit to measure it on screen to see if it will fit. If not,
- you can use Sizeit in rearranging the information to help ensure a fit.
-
- You can operate the program from the floppy disk or load it on a hard
- disk. From the prompt just type Sizeit and it will load into ram where it
- will stay resident. Or you can include it in your autoexec.bat file so
- that Sizeit will be loaded every time you boot up your system. (Note:
- When you use this method it is recommended that you have Sizeit loaded
- first.)
-
- To operate Sizeit just press Ctrl + Alt + Right Shift together. A
- horizontal line (bar) will appear indexed in inches. By pressing the
- Space bar it will change to a character (or column) counter. Press the
- Space bar again and you are back to inches. When you press the Insert key
- a vertical line will appear indexed in inches. By pressing the Del key it
- will change to a row counter. Press the Del key again and you are back to
- inches. Both the horizontal and vertical lines may be moved across the
- screen using the arrow keys. The horizontal line can be quickly moved to
- the top of the screen by pressing the Home key and to the bottom of the
- screen by pressing the end key. Remember that one inch on either of the
- lines equates to one inch on paper (you may have to experiment to find the
- proper alignment point of the paper in the printer). To remove Sizeit
- (the lines) from the screen press the Esc key.
-
- The data bar at the bottom of the screen contains useful information
- particularly the column and row counters.
-
- Sizeit may be called from residence into most programs such as Multimate,
- dBase III Plus, Lotus 123 and many other programs. It is excellent for
- composing bulletins and leaflets especially when you need to make maximum
- use of space.
-
- The program is designed to work with DOS version 2.0 and up. Sizeit uses
- only 3415 bytes of RAM space, however the size of your RAM must be
- sufficient to hold both Sizeit and the program you are using (ex,
- Multimate). Although, the program has been tested many times and has been
- shown free of defects or problems, the author of the program does not
- warrant the program in any way.

-
- Sizeit is being made available as Public Domain Software. It is hoped
- that you will find it a valuable and useful addition to your program
- library. Feel free to use it and pass it on to your friends.
-
- Although, there is no obligation, to promote and encourage future programs
- like this and also if you feel this program has been useful to you and is
- worth a $5.00 donation to the author it would be greatly appreciated.
- Please send your donation along with any comments or suggestions for other
- programs that you might like to see available as Public Domain Software to:
