- PrintIt! V1.2
- -------------
-
- PrintIt! is a utility that allows you to view and print text files. Its
- primary audience is programmers and other professionals that have frequent
- need to use text files under Windows.
-
- With PrintIt! you may view multiple files at the same time or print text
- files in a variety of modes.
-
- PrintIt! was written to enable you to print text files speedily and
- economically without too much paper. PrintIt! prints files in terms of
- logical pages; you can instruct PrintIt! to print several logical pages
- on a physical page.
-
- Using PrintIt! you can print one, two or four logical pages per physical
- page in either landscape or portrait mode. Two up mode is best for printing
- source files for review or documentation. Four up mode is useful to view

- Change History
- --------------
-
- V1.2 (1/25/93)
- - Problems printing with Postscript printers. Neither
- Print Setup... or Print... dialog boxes appear when
- corresponding menu commands selected.
-
- Fixed; method of obtaining printer device mode
- structure changed to avoid 'missing device'
- error.
-
- - Selecting font sizes smaller than 7 pt caused PrintIt!
- to succesively reduce the point size by 1 on every
- subsequent invocation of the Format|Font menu item.
-
- Fixed; incorrectly translated point size after
- Font selection.
-
- - When using 'Terminal' font, Format|Font must be selected
- after PrintIt! starts before font is correctly displayed.
-
- Defer; due to PrintIt! storing only partial font
- information in it's profile file. Will be
- fixed in release 2.1.
-
- V1.1 (1/18/93)
-
- - Selecting certain printers as default printer would cause
- PrintIt! to abort during startup with a "Square root of -1"
- error message.
-
- Fixed; defective printer driver over writes certain
- input only parameters causing later divide
- by zero condition.
-
- - Selecting certain printers as default printer would prevent
- PrintIt! from displaying Printer Setup... or Print...
- dialog boxes.
-
- Fixed; certain drivers require more memory to be
- allocated for internal data structures than
- PrintIt! V1.0 allocated.
-
- V1.0 - Initial release
