- * NEW IMPROVED -- GRAFTRAX.COM v3.1 *
- ********************************************************************
-
- GRAF.HEX, and GRAF.ASM are for printing IBMPC graphics on bit-plot
- printers. The program as delivered works with EPSON GRAFTRAX (tm) and
- IBM GRAPHICS(tm) printers, but can be modified to work with others, such
- as the C.ITOH 8510a.
-
- GRAF640 represents the latest version of the program. It does everthing
- the old one does and now does high-res. graphics much more clearly.
- This version has some small changes, including some to insure
- compatibility with future versions of DOS, but the main improvement is
- correct handling of the high-resolution 640x200 graphics mode. GRAFTRAX
- originally was created to reproduce medium resolution color graphics.
-
- GRAFTRAX.COM is created by running GRAF.HEX through a hex-converter
- program and is run from DOS. The program announces itself and will
- remain a part of your system until reset or power down. Once run, the
- Shift+PrtSc keys will work as always with text on the screen, sending it
- to the printer. If you have graphics running on the screen and GRAFTRAX
- in your printer, the screen can be sent to the printer in two ways. A
- small (5 1/4 x 3 1/4) print with the RIGHT-Shift+PrtSc keys, and LARGE
- (almost a full 8 1/2 x 11 page) print with the LEFT- Shift+PrtSc keys.
-
- CGRAF.BAS is a demo program showing how to call GRAFTRAX.COM from a
- BASIC program.
-
- GRAF.ASM is the source code for GRAFTRAX.COM. With the IBM MACRO-
- ASSEMBLER(tm) it will produce GRAFTRAX.EXE. Conditional compilation
- allows easy assembly for the C.ITOH 8510a or other printers with bit-
- plot capabilties. The first part of the listing explains the history of
- the program and explains how to assemble for other printers.
-
- Please remember that GRAF.HEX must be converted to .COM format by a
- program like HEXCONV.BAS, HC.COM, or another that works in a similar
- manner. Don't try to run GRAF.HEX by itself as you will be
- disappointed.
-
- GRAFTRAX.COM works just fine with DOS 2.0.
