This is a new version of IMG_CATM. This program is a GEM Image
file printer similar to IMG_CAT that was uploaded earlier by Chet
Walters, but this program is free. I have changed the name so it
would not conflict with any copyrights that Chet Walters has with
IMG_CAT, my apologizes to Chet. It places 12 images per page
along with the name of the image and its size. It can handle up
to 12 pages of images in the path you select. The program will
also print the path and a user editable title on the top of each
page. The program was written in GFA Basic 3.0. You must have
GDOS or GDOS+ with a assign.sys file with 10 & 12 point fonts
defined in the first position or one of the fonts must be named
Swiss. The program will print various status reports on the
screen as it is printing so you can follow along. If you need to
abort printing press the ESC key and the printout will be aborted
at the end of the current page being printed. Let me know if you
like the program.
ENHANCEMENTS:
1. Will recursively go through the selected path searching
all folders until no more folders are found or 144 image
files have been located.
2. Will sort all files alphabetically.
3. File selector box defaults to drive and path currently
being used.
4. You are now able to select Thin, Medium, Thick, or No
frame/border around images.
FIXES:
1. Works better with computers with low memory. If your
computer does not have enough memory for 12 images the
program will automatically reduce the layout to the
amount your computer memory can support. See HINTS how
to optimize your memory.
2. The Title and Path/Page are now printed on different
lines so they will not interfere with each other.
FILE:
Set Path: Sets drive & directory path to images you want
printed. Make sure you set this first. The current
path will be displayed.
OPTIONS:
Set Title: Sets the title you want displayed on each page. To
set the title select that option and enter the title
you want displayed. To clear the title just enter a
carriage return at the prompt. The current set title
will be displayed on the screen.
Clear Screen: To clear and reset the screen display.
Single Feed: If your printer requires paper to be added after
each sheet select this option and the program will
pause before each sheet is printed.
Continuous Feed: Select this if you don't need the program to
pause between pages.
Thin Box: Selects the thin border that is placed around the
images.
Medium Box: Selects a slightly darker border.
Thick Box: Selects a thick border.
No Box: Selects no border.
OUTPUT:
Print: Starts the output process to your printer.
HINTS:
1. If your images are garbled when printed check the first
image that was garbled to make sure it wasn't a corrupt
file. A Bad file could cause good image files after it
to be printed incorrectly.
2. I have included a sample ASSIGN.SYS file that will
conserve as much memory as possible. It is named
IMG_PRT.SYS. This file only loads the two printer fonts
that will be used, Swiss 10 & 12 points. You may need to
edit it for the fonts you have on your system. You will
also note the meta.sys driver isn't loaded to conserve
memory. You may also want to take other actions to
conserve memory such as to reduce the number of AUTO
files and ACCESSORIES that are loaded at boot time. You
may need to experiment for the best configuration for
your system. The reason this is needed is because image
files are resolution independent and can be very large.
Your memory requirements will be dependent on the size of
the image files you are trying to print.
