- TinyList Copyright 1986 by Peninsula Software
-
-
- TinyList is a utility for IBM PC and compatible computers. It allows
- printing of text files on a minimum of paper. A standard 8.5 by 11 inch
- piece of paper can hold almost 20K of text. TinyList uses the paper to
- its utmost capacity.
-
- By using superscripted and condensed print, TinyList uses the printer's
- smallest characters. The line spacing is then reduced to the legible
- minimum, 15/216 inch. This allows 150 lines per page, plus top and bottom
- margins. TinyList also uses a two column format. Each column is 66
- characters wide. Lines that are longer than one column are wrapped around
- inside that column. Text reads down the left column of a page, then the
- right column of the page, then the left column of the next page...
-
- To use TinyList, simply run TL.COM from DOS. When asked for the input file
- name, enter the name of the file (including extension) that you want to print.
- TinyList will print the file on the printer.
-
- TinyList, as included in this archive is configured for an Epson FX or
- Epson FX command compatible printer.
-
- Turbo Pascal source code is provided to allow customization and modification.
- The constants at the beginning of the code allow you to change the number of
- lines and columns per page, to accomodate different size paper. There is also
- a constant that contains the printer initialization string. This can be
- changed to allow TinyList to work with non Epson compatible printers, such as
- an Okidata. The initialization string must set the printer to superscript,
- condensed print, and a smaller line spacing. Experiment with your printer to
- find best results.
-
- If you printer does not support superscripted characters, you can use normal
- compressed characters and set the line spacing to 1/8 inch. This will
- provide two column listings with normal height characters.
