-
- PMENU3 is a memory resident Printer Control Menu for Epson and
- compatable printers and the IBM PC. It allows access to control
- codes such as condensed, double strike, or underline WHEN YOU
- NEED THEM. By simply typing PMENU3 at the DOS prompt, the
- program will be loaded into memory, and you will be returned to
- DOS. Then load your other program as usual. To pop up PMENU3
- while running your program, hit Alt CapsLock. You can enter
- codes one at a time, or combinations of codes such as bold and
- italics.
-
- The program was developed under Turbo Pascal Version 3.01A and
- DOS 2.1, but it runs on DOS 3.0 and 3.1. PMENU3 will be
- compatable with most software for the IBM PC, but this version
- expects the display to be in text mode. It works with all the
- other memory resident programs I had access to. Many users have
- reported using it on various compatables under MS-DOS.
-
- Note: Not all Epson printers support all codes that this program
- does such as Near Letter Quality. (In fact, I use a Thinkjet
- so don't feel bad, mine doesn't support them either. However,
- some users requested Near Letter Quality so I added it!).
