- TEXT-DUMP
-
-
- Text-Dump is an ASCII file printer that will print any ASCII
- file stored on any secondary storage device. This version replaces the
- file named TEXT_PTR.PRG which I wrote earlier last year.
-
- The main difference between this and the old version is that
- this version is a desk accessory. Text-Dump will:
-
- o Print any file stored in ASCII format...
- o Will print 55 lines per page...
- o Will NOT print on the page perf...
- o Will strip form-feeds from text...
- o Give an option for condensed printing...
- o Print multiple files/session...
- o Inform you of the printed file's stats...
- o Print at the fastest speed your printer
- is capable of printing at...
-
- The algorithm is the same; Text-Dump will open a file and
- read and then print one byte of the file. The process is repeated
- until the EOF marker is reached.
-
- I have tested this version with my 1040ST, TOS 1.4 ROMS, and
- a color monitor. (Mono-users should have no problem with the file with
- the sole exception that the window box will not be centered. ANY input
- from a mono-user and I'll fix this...) I have used it within and out
- of the NEODESK environment. I have printed small files, (18 bytes),
- and large files like STREPORT or ZNET without any problems.
-
- As this is a SHAREWARE program, I ask for a small, a very small
- donation from the user base of only $5.00. That's cheap. In return,
- I'll mail you a copy of the source code. What a deal.
-
- I promise that this program will not write and viruses, worms,
- logic bombs, trojan horses, or anything at all to your storage
- device. The Fopen command opens a file for input only; it is impossible
- for this program to write anything to anything. (Except the printer.)
- I stake my name and reputation on this. (Would I ask for money and
- include my address if I didn't?)
-
- If you encounter any bugs, or would like to comment on the
- program, you may leave email for me at my GEnie address of:
- M.SHALLOP, or, I can be found lurking on the Twisted Systems BBS,
- (405) 743-0971.
-
- Thanks!
