PRINTER UTILITYS Most of the items in this collection will allow you to use a dot-matrix printer to produce BIG print in various styles. Little documentation is available, but in the main they are self explanatory. some were placed in the Public Domain by Daniel Mann of California to whom we owe a debt of gratitude. BRADFORD.COM, BRADFORD.INF (Aaron Contorer. Concom Enterprises) Bradford is one of the best printer programs in the P.D. libaray to date.It prints out ASCII and WORDSTAR files on a number of different printers,in 10 different FONTS. LISTT.COM, LISTT.DOC (Irvin M. Hoff) Very similar to DISP.COM but it sends the .DOC file to the printer having let you set a heading for each page along with the date and page No. It turns .DOC files into well laid out manuals. BANNER.BAS, BANNERP.BAS Two very similar programs that run with MBASIC. They seem to work in upper case only. BIGWRD.COM For printing notices or title pages in inch-high upper-case letters. Each letter is made of a 7 by 8 matrix of normal sized letters: a large 'A' is made up of many normal 'A's, and so on. With a printer in condensed mode you get 12 letters on a line. The output goes to a file which you must print at a later stage. The program prompts for a name for the output file, then asks for your text. Press to end input. BLOCK.COM Very similar to the above, but it does not write to a file - text goes straight to the printer. Prints upper and lower case using a 12 by 12 matrix. BLOCK can build its letters in the same way as BIGWRD, but allows a denser effect by overstriking two characters to make each 'dot'. The program begins by asking which two characters you want to use ('O' and '*' work well). You then type in your text which will be printed when you press . GOHIC.COM An excellent program. Allows you to print any (short) text in HUGE Gothic letters on virtually any printer. Produces impressive banners or notices, running sideways along your continuous stationery. It assumes a line width greater than 80, so set your printer to condensed mode before running GOTHIC. The best effect is obtained with lines closed up (say 8 lines/inch). Each 'dot' on the matrix is built by overstriking 'X','*' and 'O' in the same position. OKICHAR.COM, OKICHAR.DOC A utility for owners of Oki printers that allows user-defined characters. This provides a convenient means by which users may define these characters. TYPWRYT.COM Enables you to use your computer plus printer as a typewriter. You can set margins and tab stops. Printing is a line at a time rather than character by character. The menu in the program is self explanatory. B !)19AIQYaiqy2|2\  !$UNRV1)UNRV32E&UNRV2'!TRFC7p-VERRMSY"*WIDWRNq#SETLINNNNY
