INTRODUCTION
WinPrint is
an application
for printing standard
text
files
out of your printer from within Windows.
An
example of
a standard
text file
is the
AUTOEXEC.BAT
or
CONFIG.SYS file.
WinPrint is capable of
printing your files with
page
breaks,
headers
and
footers (including
page numbers,
file
revision
date,
and current
date), using
all
of the
capabilities
of
Windows and your printer.
WinPrint takes
full advantage of the
Windows Spooler
program
to allow you to get on with other work while your files
print.
INSTALLATION
To install
WinPrint just copy
the WINPRINT.EXE
file into
a
directory that exists in your PATH statement.
You can start WinPrint by
double clicking on the
WINPRINT.EXE
file
name
in
the
MS-DOS Executive
Window
or
by
choosing
"Run..." in the MS-DOS Executive File menu.
GETTING STARTED AND THE HELP SYSTEM
The
help system, like the rest of WinPrint, has been
designed
to be easy to use yet powerful.
Most
of the features of
WinPrint are described
in detail
in
the help system.
To invoke the help system either
press the F1 key or click
on
the "F1=Help!" menu item.
To get help
on any of
the menu
items provided by
WinPrint,
simply select that menu item in the "WinPrint Help" window.
To
get
help on
COMMAND LINE
options,
simply click
on
the
button labeled "Cmd Line".
To
return to
this
information simply
click
on the
button
labeled "General".
The
documentation
file,
WINPRINT.DOC,
may
be
printed
by
WinPrint!
The best way
to do
this is to
use the
"Factory
Default" configuration settings.
Use the File...Open
Setup...
menu
item
if
"Factory
Defaults"
is
not
the
current
configuration.
Depending on your
printer, you might have
to
change the text font so that the info box at the bottom of
the
WinPrint
main window indicates a lines per page setting of
at
least 58 and characters per page setting of at least 75.
