- Print Plus Version 1.1 1990
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Print Plus is a printer utility which allows you to continue to use
- your Amiga while printing IFF graphics. Print Plus will print in any
- resolution: LO, MED, HI, INTERLACE, and HAM. Print Plus will also
- print larger than screen size drawings.
-
- Print Plus is easy to use. Just double click on the disk icon and
- when the window opens double click on the PrintPlus icon.
-
- Single Drive Users:
- Print Plus can run with a single drive but be prepared to swap disks!
- After booting with Workbench or a program disk:
- Remove Workbench disk
- Insert Print Plus disk
- After inserting Print Plus and opening the program the Amiga
- system will bring up the disk requester window and ask you to
- insert either Workbench or Print Plus. Print Plus needs
- different Workbench files to run.
- The alternative is to make a copy of your Workbench disk and delete files
- you don't need and drag the Print Plus icon to that disk. Deleting all the
- files in the Utilities drawer EXCEPT Graphic Dump (Print Plus needs it)
- will free up enough disk space. Deleting other files to create space to
- save your IFF graphic files will eliminate disk swapping.
-
- Users with 2 Drives:
- Insert Workbench 1.3 in DF0: and Print Plus in your external
- drive. If you do not want to do any swapping, copy or save your
- graphic files onto a copy of Print Plus. Removing my Pics drawer and
- Doc file will give you about 740K of disk space.
-
- Users with 3 Drives:
- Insert your data disk into your 3rd drive. No need to swap!
-
- Hard Drive Users:
- Drag the Print Plus icon into any drawer on your hard drive.
- NO SWAPPING of DISKS!
-
- The Title Screen contains a hidden menu bar at the top of the screen
- which you can access by pressing the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON. The menu bar
- has two menu items: Print... sends graphic data to your printer.
- (Right Amiga P)
- Once your printer STARTS to print your graphic you can return
- to Workbench (and use any other program) by pressing LEFT
- AMIGA N.
- After your printer STOPS you can return to Print Plus by
- clicking the Workbench front to back gadject or use LEFT AMIGA M.
- You can now clear the screen by using the menu Clear or by
- pressing RIGHT AMIGA C.
-
- Clear... removes the last drawing loaded to the
- screen and refreshes the Title Screen so
- you can load another graphic
- (Right Amiga C)
-
- The Title Screen also contains the following buttons: (Click Once with
- LEFT Mouse Button.

- IMPORTANT PLEASE READ
-
- "The author is not responsible for any loss of data or other damage
- that may result from use of this program. The author has gone to great
- lengths to make sure that this software is the best it can be but
- is a bit paranoid and so the above statement applies."
-
- PRINT PLUS IS NOT FREE! It is SHAREWARE!
- If you send me $20.00 (or More!) you will be a registered user and
- I will do the following:
-
- 1- HARD DRIVE USERS-- If you would check the amount of time it takes
- for your printer to START printing AFTER your drawing is displayed
- on the screen I will set your copy of Print Plus to automatically
- return to Workbench as soon as your printer starts printing.
- (I have my working copy return me to my programs in 2.5 seconds.)
-
- 2- For ALL registered users of Print Plus:
- I will send you a FREE copy of a text (printer/editor/reader)
- which will allow you to work on another document or use another
- program while printing. This will also entitle you to future
- revisions and/or upgrades of Print Plus. Also, once Workbench 2.0
- becomes available I will make sure your copy will run under
- Workbench 2.0.
-
- I am also working on a CLImate type utility which will do the usual
- copy, delete, move etc.; but will also be able to: show animations,
- play sounds and much, much more.
-
- I am currently working on a commercial program to teach children the
- alphabet using graphics, animation, music and sound. There will be 5
- different skill levels teaching letters, words and pronunciation
- using the mouse and the keyboard. This program will be available to
- registered users of Print Plus for half the retail price. Any money
- received for Print Plus will go towards the cost of packaging and
- documentation of this program.
-
- Thank you for looking at Print Plus. Hopefully you will send me
- money and if you do: ENJOY! printing graphics without tying up your
- AMIGA!!!
-
- I would like to THANK the following:
- David and Andrew from Computer's ETC. (The Best Computer Dealer Anywhere!)
- David for his humor and support and Andrew for his interest and a couple
- of suggestions which improved PrintPlus dramatically. Also many,many,many
- THANKS to my fellow SIG members for putting up with my oversized
- enthusiasm every Tuesday and Wednesday for the past year and a half:
- John Najjar, Larry McLeod, Dave King, Sara Roberts and Marjorie McPhilamy.
