- INTRODUCTION
- ------------
-
- TPRINT is a flexible text file printing program which
- allows selected portions of your file to be listed.
- TPRINT is command-line driven and provides you with
- on-line help so that the utility can be used without
- refering back to the manual. TPRINT also provides
- for multiple copies and single-sheet feeding.
-
-
- TCOUNT is a text file summary statistics program
- providing you with character, word, line, and page
- counts. You have control over what characters are
- considered to be word delimiters. This utility is
- a necessity for authors and other people that need
- to know how many characters or words are in a
- document.
-

- REQUIREMENTS & RESTRICTIONS

- higher system with 32K of RAM memory, or an MS-DOS
- system with 64K of RAM. TPRINT will work with any
- printer.
-
- TPRINT and TCOUNT will process a text file of any size.
