- DWPrint V1.2 - Written by Simon John Raybould. (sie@fulcrum.bt.co.uk)
-
-
- This program is for people who have single sheet printers and don't own an
- automatic sheet feeder. It will pause the printing of a file after each
- page to allow you to feed a new sheet into place.
- I personally own a VERY cheap Daisy Wheel printer, hence the DW in the
- program name, but this program will be of use to anyone in the same position.
- It may also be of use to laser printer owners who wish to print both sides
- of the paper, allowing them to catch the last page and manually re-feed the
- sheet the other way up (Yes I know this is not really the way to do this,
- alternate pages and all that, but it will work).
-
-
- USAGE FROM CLI
- ==============
-
- dwprint <filename> [n]
-
- Where <filename> is the path to the file you wish to print.
- [n] is optional and is the number of lines per page, the default is 66 if
- this is not explicitly specified.
- The rest of the usage is shown below as USAGE COMMON TO BOTH.
-
-
- USAGE FROM WORKBENCH
- ====================
-
- 1. Click once on the DWPrint icon.
- 2. Hold SHIFT and double click on the file to print.
-
- To alter the number of lines per page when using from the workbench :
-
- 1. Click once on the DWPrint icon.
- 2. Select 'info' from the WORKBENCH 'Workbench' menu.
- 3. Alter the 'LINESPERPAGE' value in the TOOLTYPES field.
- 4. Click 'SAVE'.
-
- The new value will now be used as the number of lines printed on each page.
-
- The rest of the usage is shown below as USAGE COMMON TO BOTH.
-
- USAGE COMMON TO BOTH
- ====================
-
- When DWPrint prints the file, it will send the first page to the printer.
- It will display current page number and current line number. The program
- will pause from time to time to allow the printer to catch up if it lags
- behind.
-
- When it has sent the first page, a message will be displayed to say that
- you should click 'NEXT PAGE' to send the next page. You should now wait for
- the page to complete printing, change the sheet or turn the sheet over for
- double sided prints, and click on the 'NEXT PAGE' gadget.
- When all of the file has been sent, the program will exit.
-
-
-
- FIXES FROM V1.1
- ===============
-
- 1. Now sends the correct number of spaces instead of TABS as some
- printer drivers don't support TABS correctly. The only problem
- with this is that DWPrint will cause tabstops to be at eight
- character intervals.

- COMMENTS

- Any comments, bug reports, advice, suggestions, e.t.c. will be very
- gratefully received at any of the contact points below. Feedback
- is the best way to get the program you really need.
-
- I would also appreciate any fixed source code to be sent back to
- me in any format (uuencoded, zoo, lharc, lhwarp, arc, e.t.c) to
