Notes & Updates --------------- To print the documentation, copy IPV33.DOC to the printer with the DOS COPY command: COPY IPV33.DOC PRN: The documentation is formatted for 8 x 11 inch fan-fold paper. Make sure your printer starts at the top of a page. Do NOT print IPV33.DOC with IMAGEPRINT. There are many examples of IMAGEPRINT backslash commands contained in it, which would be interpreted as commands, rather than examples, causing the documentation to print incorrectly. ********************* The IMAGEPRINT files are: README Introduction, directions ORDER.FRM IMAGEPRINT order form IPV33.DOC The IMAGEPRINT User Manual IP.EXE IMAGEPRINT program FONT0...FONT24 25 font files TUTOR_1.TXT Simple IMAGEPRINT demonstration TUTOR_2.TXT Detailed IMAGEPRINT demonstration FONT13.SHP Text file that displays FONT13's characters ALLFONTS.TXT Text file that demonstrates all 25 fonts Also included are the following utilities: UTILS.DOC CONTROL and ENHANCE program documentation CONTROL.EXE Utility to control printer, boiler-plate text REM-CTRL.EXE Program to remove CONTROL from memory CONTROL.DAT Epson control code data file - used with CONTROL SAMPLE.DAT Text string data file - used with CONTROL ENHANCE.EXE Utility to improve graphics output ********************* IMAGEPRINT History: Version Comments ------- -------- 1.00 Original version of IMAGEPRINT. 1.01 Added CTRL-C abort. 1.20 Added micro-justification if formatting.
