- ANSIPRT is a utility program which allows you to print files
- on microcomputers which contain ANSI-print spacing characters.
- Files which are created in this format are normally produced
- by IBM mainframe computers for attached impact printers.
-
- These files are easily recognizable as they normally contain
- either a blank, 1, -, 0, or + in column 1 of each printline.
- Thus, the first character of each line is not printed as it
- merely contains spacing information for the printout.
- Printing such a file using the normal DOS utilities yields a
- poorly readable document.
-
- To use: C>ansiprt xxxxxxxx.xxx
-
- where xxxxxxxx.xxx is the file containing the ANSI-spacing.
- ANSIPRT does not run as a subtask as does the PRINT command.
-
- Source is included and may be compiled on any of the popular
- C compilers for the IBM-pc. This version was compiled using
- C86 version 2.20j.
