COMFAX JUSTIFY PROGRAM
Copyright (c) 1984 ComFax
This program gives many popular, low-priced printers the capability of
producing justified copy (i.e., flush left AND RIGHT margins), a feature
normally found only on expensive printers. While many justification programs
add space only between words -- and then only in increments of 1/10 inch --
ours adds space evenly between words AND between LETTERS in increments of 1/120
inch! This maintains the normal word-space to letter-space ratio regardless of
the total amount of space added in each line. The result is a professional
appearing document with no awkward gaps between words.
This program was written for use on the IBM-PC or any compatible unit. It
also requires a printer with graphics capability. The following printers are
supported: IBM, EPSON FX80, EPSON RX80, EPSON MX80, STAR MICRONICS GEMINI 10X,
STAR MICRONICS GEMINI 15X, STAR MICRONICS DELTA 10, AND STAR MICRONICS DELTA
15.
When creating a file that you may want to print with this program, a line
will not be justified if either of the following conditions is true:
1. The first seven columns after the left margin are blank.
2. The last eighteen columns before the right margin are blank.
Also, if you will want the printer to skip to a new page before the
current one is full, simply key in a form-feed (ALT-1-2) in any position of a
line. This character position will not apprear in the printed line, and the
next character will overlay this position. However, the printer will skip to a
new page after this line, and the line counter will be reset to zero.
To execute this program:
1. Key 'JUSTIFY`
2. Hit Enter
3. Answer the prompts. To use a default (enclosed in '<>'), simply hit
Enter.
The margins MUST be set the same as when you keyed the document.
Otherwise, the program will not work correctly. If you want to change the
margins within your document, key the instructions below into your file just
BEFORE the location of each change. You may change the margins as many times
as you like within your document. However, the instructions MUST start at the
CURRENT LEFT MARGIN, and the RIGHT MARGIN INSTRUCTION MUST BE LISTED FIRST.
Also, the text in your file MUST NOT extend beyond the margin positions you
specify in the instructions. The following instructions would set the margins
at positions 75 (right) and 6 (left):
..RMARG75
..LMARG6
A path may be specified in the file name. If it is, the program will
restore the old path after it opens the file.
Examples of file names:
B:\SUBDIR1\SUBDIR2\FILE1.EXT (WITH PATH)
\SUBDIR1\SUBDIR2\FILE1.EXT (WITH PATH)
B:FILE1.EXT (WITHOUT PATH)
FILE1.EXT (WITHOUT PATH)
To print this tutorial with the COMFAX JUSTIFY PROGRAM, execute "JUSTIFY"
and reply to the prompts. Take the default (just hit Enter) on all except the
file name. For file name, key in "TUTORIAL".
