Printer Control Menu
[PMENU3 Version 1.3]
(C) Copyright 1985,1986 HomeBase Software
Written by Bob Nance
PMENU3 is a memory resident Printer Control Menu for Epson and
compatable printers and the IBM PC. It allows access to control
codes such as condensed, double strike, or underline WHEN YOU
NEED THEM. By simply typing PMENU3 at the DOS prompt, the
program will be loaded into memory, and you will be returned to
DOS. Then load your other program as usual. To pop up PMENU3
while running your program, hit Alt CapsLock. You can enter
codes one at a time, or combinations of codes such as bold and
italics.
The program was developed under Turbo Pascal Version 3.01A and
DOS 2.1, but it runs on DOS 3.0 and 3.1. PMENU3 will be
compatable with most software for the IBM PC, but this version
expects the display to be in text mode. It works with all the
other memory resident programs I had access to. Many users have
reported using it on various compatables under MS-DOS.
Note: Not all Epson printers support all codes that this program
does such as Near Letter Quality. (In fact, I use a Thinkjet
so don't feel bad, mine doesn't support them either. However,
some users requested Near Letter Quality so I added it!).

Thank you for your suggestions! As you can see some of the changes above
are small, but were requested by contributors, so I made the change and
released a new version. I will do that in the future whenever possible.
In fact, I am still working on one tricky one.
Therefore, please send comments, suggestions, or a donation ($5 or $10
suggested) to:
