- This is a file I downloaded from a BBS that had no doc file for it. By
- experimentation, I found that it does indeed print a file sideways. But it has
- a restriction that must be dealt with. It only seems to work correctly with
- files where the end of the file occurs at the end of the physical record. If
- your files are stored in 128 byte chunks, for example, you could have a file
- where your end chunk has one data byte and 127 bytes of garbage. I found that
- using EDLIN to edit that end of a file will clean it up and allow SIDEWIZE
- output. List the last line while in EDLIN and if it's garbage, delete it.
- (Your favorite word processor may not show this garbage, so at least check it
- out with EDLIN.) Glenn Endrud
