- Resident FORM-FEED Program Script entry by: Gary A. Smith
-
-
- This is a stay resident program which allows you to send a form-feed to
- the printer by pressing the Alt-PrtSc key.
-
- The FORMFEED.COM file is created by DEBUG with the following command at
- the DOS prompt.
- DEBUG <FORMFEED.SCR
-
- Note that FORMFEED.COM does not clear the keystroke from the keyboard
- hardware but just branches to the previous Interrupt 9 keyboard handler
- after it's done. Thus, if you load FORMFEED twice, you'll get two form-
- feeds with an Alt-PrtSc.
-
- Before writing the form-feed character (a hex 0Ch) out to the printer,
- FORMFEED does a printer status call to Interrupt 17h, so it doesn't
- hang if the printer is off-line.
