Newprint Version 1.0
Instructions and license terms.
Thank you for downloading this program. I am writing this
program to offer programmers (and users) an easy to modify
graphics printer driver. It is written entirely in C++ and
uses many features of the language. Inheritance makes it easy
to add different printers and graphics file formats.
The basic algorithms were adapted from Steve Rimmer's
book "Bit-Mapped Graphics". I remain in Steve's debt for his
excellent treatment of the subject.
This is a Beta version of the program. Many of the bugs
in the previous version have been fixed.
You can help me out by telling me if the program works on a
Laserjet or compatible printer.
You may use this standalone program freely. The source code
is now included, however a one-time license fee of $75 will
be required if you use this code in a commercial program.
Feel free to distribute this program, however this readme file
must accompany any distribution.
No further royalties will be required and tech support will be
available to registered users.
Zortech C++ was the development platform. I'm sure the code
can be adapted to any other C++ compiler.

or send mail to 73540,545. Thanks!
Note: This has been tested with 16 color PCX files. 256 color
files have not been tested. Give it a try and tell me what happens!
Instructions:
You need to specify the printer type and the PCX file name. Currently
only two printers are supported, 24 pin Epson and compatibles, and
300 dpi HP Laserjets and compatibles. This however covers an awful
lot of printers. If anyone adapts this to other printers, I would be
very interested and probably willing to waive the $75 fee.
For example:
newprint test.pcx EP24
EP24 is the Epson 24 pin.
HP300 is the Laserjet
