KWS Print PCX 1.1 - Read.me file 10/11/91
Copyright (c) 1991 - KWS Company - Parma, Ohio
This utility is protected by copyright but may be copied and distributed
freely as long as it is never distributed with or as a commercial product,
and as long as no dollar value is charged for it.
This is a simple utility I created for my personal/work use. I have cleaned
it up somewhat and it seems to be fairly reliable. Use it at your own risk.
Feel free to offer suggestions or report bugs. I may chose to enhance/fix
the utility, or I may not.
The program takes no parameters. It merely searches the default directory
for all .PCC and .PCX files, sorts the names and produces a printed
catalog on any HP Laserjet II/III or compatible. Graphics are scaled to fit
16 per page, 4 across and 4 down. The name of the file is printed underneath
each picture.
Only black & white PCX/PCC files work correctly - color files may print but
may not look right. To load and scale the graphics, the program first uses
EMS memory, if available. If not, it tries to use conventional memory (some
of the 640k accessible by MS-DOS). If not enough memory is available between
these two methods, it reverts to a "virtual memory" scheme that uses disk
space. This is a nifty feature - and works quite nicely, but by nature is
much slower than direct memory access.
Hope this utility can be of help to others ...
