Documentation For the 2-UP! Program
-----------------------------------
2-UP! is designed to half the number of pages required when printing out
ascii files. At the moment it only handles pure ascii file, and understands
form feeds, tabs, and linefeed/carriage return combinations. Support for
ansi codes may be implemented in a future version.
COMMAND-LINE: 2up [/?] [/b] [/o] [/f] [/s] [/sx] [/font "fontname"] [/hs]
[/l] [/i "inputfile"] [/p "outputfile"]
ARGUMENTS:
[/?] Provides a help screen that provides an explanation of each
option.
[/b] Disables printing of the box around the text, as each page
printed has a box enclosed around it.
[/o] Disables page numbering, useful for when you are printing
a manual of some discription, and page numbering is already
in the text.
[/f] Normally 2-UP! calls the output file output.ps. This option
forces the program to ask for an output file name.
[/s] Changes the default point size, normally the default is
sufficient for most purposes.
[/sx] Changed the font size in the x-direction, if needed.
[/hs] Turns half-shadowing mode on. This option can not be used
in conjunction with the /l command.
[/l] Enables landscape printing mode. Very useful for printing
manuals.
[font "fontname"] Changes the default font, only choose one
that your printer supports! (Default font is
courier)
[/i "inputfile"] Specifies the input file that the user wants
to convert.
[/p "outputfile"] Specifies the the name of the converted
output file.
NOTE: If either /f or /p are not used then the output file will be called
outfile.ps
If /i is not used then the program will prompt for the name of the
textfile to convert.
EXAMPLES:
2up /l /o /i "fred.txt" /f
This will tell 2-UP to print in landscape mode, turn off page
numbering, the file to convert is fred.txt, and it will ask
for an output file.
2up /b /hs /font "Helvetica" /p lpt1
2-UP! will not print the box, turn half-shadowing mode on
change the font to helvetica, and print to the printer
pointed to by lpt1.
Notice that you can print directly to a printer, and don't have to print
straight to a file.
All print-outs will have the time and date printed in the top line - that
helps minimize the problems of figuring out which print out is the latest!
