PAGE.EXE Version 1.4 Documentation
6/11/92
This program was written especially for all of you dot-matrix
printer owners. When you get a file out of a public domain or
Shareware library, usually the instructions are in a file on the
disk. Have you ever tried printing one of those out? It's a real
pain, unless the author took the time to include extra lines for
the perforations on the paper. Laser printer owners don't need to
worry about this. The paper is automatically advanced at the end
of each page, but those of us stuck back in the dark ages with
dot-matrix printers have to either suffer through reading across
the perfs, or do something about it. I decided to write this
little program to put form-feeds in the correct places. The
command is very simple:
Syntax: PAGE InputFile [OutputFile]
If OutputFile is omitted, the original file is given a .BAK
extension, and the new, modified file is given the original
file's name. If both filenames are included, the InputFile is
read and copied into the OutputFile. After the paging is
complete, you will be told how many pages are in the document. As
far as I know, this program is bug-free, but if you find
anything, let me know.
This is a very simple program, and unfortunately, you can't
use any wildcards (?,*). This program was written entirely in
Turbo Basic, so if you know anything about programming in Turbo
Basic, feel free to send any suggestions. Even if you don't know
anything about programming, and you find some error, tell me. I
will be more than happy to fix it for the next version. Please
distribute this program! I would like to see it on LOTS of
Bulletin Board Systems. If you find some way to make it better,
and you modify it, that's fine with me. It's not copyrighted; it
was only written to make your life easier. Don't waste your time
or money trying to register this program. I quickly wrote it
earlier this evening because the last version was acting up. This
program is yours to do with as you please. Enjoy!!
