Sorcerer Software EZprint March, 1994
*****************************************************************************
EZprint is a small, fast, text printing utility to be used at the DOS
prompt (command line). It represents an extension of the DOS "print"*
command, and offers greater flexibility and speed.
OPERATION:
Start EZprint by typing at the command line (DOS prompt):
EZprint <Enter>
You will then be prompted to enter the path and name of the text file
you wish to print. You can also start EZprint by typing the name of the file
on the command line after EZprint, as follows:
EZprint C:\CONFIG.SYS <Enter>
You may change LPT (printer) ports at the DOS prompt by typing:
EZprint /p <Enter>
where p is the number of the desired port, LPT 1, 2, or 3. Ezprint
comes preconfigured to use LPT 1, and this choice can be easily restored
by typing:
EZprint /1 <Enter>
The new configuration will then be saved to disk. For this reason, you
must NEVER RENAME EZPRINT!
And always make sure you are in EZprint's directory before changing LPT
ports.
LIMITATIONS:
This file was written to be used with text files, such as those files that
end in .txt, .doc, .prn, .asc, etc. EZprint will print the contents of
non-text files, but not in a text fashion; it will just print the
underlying computer generated characters. We have not yet found any
software incompatibilities. Please read the enclosed file "SIXPACK.DOC".
Thank you for supporting shareware!

*Why use this instead of the DOS "print" command? Because "print" is
actually a printer spooler that, once started, stays in memory and
occupies approximately 6 KB of conventional memory until you reboot.
EZprint does not take up your memory; it executes and then terminates.
If you need a printer spooler that CAN be removed from memory--and can
be loaded into upper memory blocks--please order Spool Commander!
