Code.Print (TM) for Visual Basic Version 2.00
Updated: 11 September 1992
FOR THOSE WHO NEVER READ DOCUMENTATION:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Code.Print won't print anything unless you create some TXT files
from your FRM (forms) and BAS (module) files. Code.Print processes
these TXT files and uses the MAK file to figure out what TXT files
to look for. To make TXT files from your application, use the CODE
SAVE TEXT command in the Visual Basic designer menu.
For more information, read the rest of this file and use the ON-LINE
HELP. It will tell you everything you need to know.
FILE LIST:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The file PACKING.LST contains a complete list of all files you
should have in this package.
INSTALLATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------
You can copy the Code.Print self-extracting archive file
(CPVBLHA.EXE) to any subdirectory. Execute the file to run the
extraction of the program files.
You will have to create your own program item (and group if you
wish). The executable file is CPVB.EXE. If you don't reference the
subdirectory in the File Preferences dialog box directly, have a
path to it.
Code.Print for Visual Basic requires the Visual Basic runtime
dynamic link library, VBRUN100.DLL and CMDIALOG.VBX. Be sure they
are in your \WINDOWS subdirectory. CMDIALOG.VBX is included with
this distribution package. To conserve space and avoid needless
duplication and added download time, VBRUN100.DLL is NOT included
with this distribution package. VBRUN100.DLL should be available
from the vendor or BBS where you obtained Code.Print.
RUNNING Code.Print for Visual Basic
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Code.Print for Visual Basic creates a file CPVB.INI to store
configuration information If you are installing Code.Print for
Visual Basic onto a network drive, be sure anyone using Code.Print
can write to that directory.
Code.Print for Visual Basic does not have the capability to print
source code directly from .FRM or .BAS files. To create source code
files that are readable by Code.Print for Visual Basic, use the CODE
SAVE TEXT command in the Visual Basic design menu. Code.Print is
designed to process these text files.
DOCUMENTATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Code.Print for Visual Basic is an easy to use program. All of the
functions contained in Code.Print for Visual Basic are documented in
the on-line help system. There is no user manual, however a text
file copy of the on-line help text is included, CPVB.DOC.
LICENSE AND REGISTRATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Registration information is available from the startup screen menu
in in the file REGISTER.DOC.

PRINTERS, FONTS, DRIVERS, ETC...
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Code.Print for Visual Basic is designed to use the printer fonts and
drivers that are available in your current Windows environment.
Printing speed will depend on what fonts and drivers you are using.
It is best to experiment. Some fonts can be slower than others.
Code.Print will display a message "Waiting for Printer..." while the
printer driver is processing page and font data. Since processing
has been passed from the program to your printer driver, Code.Print
will not respond immediately to a cancelation request while the
"Waiting for Printer..." message is displayed.
If you are printing to a network printer, you may need to adjust
the timeout setting on the print server. The Code.Print output
stream is not continuous and causes some networks to believe the
document is finished prematurely. If adjusting the timeout has no
effect, redirect the output to a file or use a spooler program like
SuperPrint to collect the output before sending it to the network.
NOTE! Code.Print does not work with the Generic / Text Only Printer
Driver. This driver does not respond to any font or style operations
and generates an error condition on every attempt to change the
printer object. Code.Print will try to gracefully back out of this
situation but will probably crash and dump the program. This driver
is guaranteed NOT TO WORK. If you are using a dot matrix printer
and want fast output, use the high speed fonts available in many dot
matrix drivers.
