CONTROL characters must be entered into the editor by pressing [Esc] first. __________________________Es}___________ I never considered using TextPRO as my word processor until it finally had a version that saved the prEt}inter equates in the configuration file. Then I could assign inverse upper case letters to send printer codes aEu}nd not have to go back to my printer manual every time I wanted to print using TextPRO. In this article I will explainEv} how to set up a print driver for your printer. I also have some ideas about additional help files and theirEw} associated macros so you can review which letters you have defined for each printer function. I have a simple Ex} idea to print an entire address list on labels. Finally I discuss printing in two columns with TextPRO and a sEy}hortcut you can use to make the last page come out in equal length columns. PRINT DRIVER First you have to get Ez} out your printer owner's manual to look up the ASCII codes for various functions. Then decide which letter to assiE{}gn for each function you wish to use and finally install these codes in your TEXTPRO.CNF file so they are avaiE|}lable whenever you load TextPRO. The easiest way to create a print driver is by typing all 26 inverse upper case E}}letters in the editor like this: =0 =0 =0 Pick which letter to use for each printer code. Try to use lE~}etters that are similar to the function selected. I use E for Elite; P for Pica; C for Condensed; D for double strike; I E}for italics; Q for NLQ font; R for reverse linefeeds; S for Super and Subscript; U for continuous undE}erline; and W for double width. I assign the remaining codes to the letters left over. If you go overboard E}and use up all 26 upper case letters, there are two lower case letters which have no current function and can E}be defined exactly like inverse upper case: and . Now look up the ASCII codes that require escape E}(27) followed by another number. Replace the 0 with the ASCII number (following 27) in your printer manual. On E} the same line, type a description of the code so you can make up a help file using that information: =77 E=77 EE}lite draft (12 cpi) =111 F=111 Elite NLQ (12 cpi) For any function requiring three characters. Just use thE}e value immediately after the 27. Some printer codes require three characters: 27,45,49 to turn underlinE}e on and 27,45,48 to turn it off. Since I use 48 and 49 for several other 3rd characters, I redefined inverE}se <0>=48<1>=49<2>=50 in my print driver. By using inverse numbers (which do not cause ESCape to be sent), TextPRO will E}not count the inverse numbers for computing where to break the line when it prints. i.e. If 1 is used to E} turn underline on, TextPRO would count the "1" as one of the 80 characters even though it is part of the printer eE}scape sequence and would not actually print on the paper. Using instead, TextPRO ignores the inverse E}characters in the count, as it should. The sends 27,45, while the <1> sends 49, to complete the 3-character prE}inter code for continuous underline on. When you finish, you may still have some unassigned letters that arE}e equal to zero. You can always redefine them later. Now you are ready to force TextPRO to read the equatE}es into the configuration section of memory. There are two ways to do this. You can move the cursor to the bottE}om of the text and use [CTRL_W] (in Text Mode) to find the page and line at the cursor position. This forces the eqE}uates into the configuration section of memory as long as the cursor is below all the equates. Or you can actualE}ly print the file to get a hard copy of your equates list. This will install the equates in memory at the same time. E} Before saving the configuration, make sure TextPRO is configured to send the ESCape (27) character whenever it sends E} the value of an inverse upper case letter. Type [CTRL_;] and reply [N] to both the "ASCII CR" and "Linefeed" prE}ompts. Reply [Y] to the "Add ESCape" prompt. Type [SELECT_CTRL_S] to save the configuration to TEXTPE}RO.ENV (v.5.20) or TEXTPRO.CNF (v.5.0 and earlier) on your default drive so it will load automatically whenever youE} load TextPRO. NOTE: Version 5.20 requires ADDOPTS.ADN loaded into the macro buffer [CTRL_V] before tE}he [CTRL_;] command will call up the "Add ESCape" prompt. HELP FILES Now you are ready to make a print driver hE}elp file. I use the same format as other help files and here is what mine looks like. Printer letters, numbeE}rs and some other characters are inverse, along with heading and bottom line: |TextPRO 5.20X |Print DrivE}er| Key__Panasonic 1092i__________set p/x A__6 lines per inch__[default]___p66 B__8 lines per inch______________p88 E}C__Compressed draft____4_OFF____x137 D__Double strike_ON____X_OFF E__Elite draft___________________x96 F__Elite NLQ____E}_________________x96 I__Italics_ON__________J_OFF N__Pica NLQ______________________x80 O__Proportional_O1_ON__O0_OFF___E}_x85 P__Pica draft_______[default]____x80 Q__NLQ_Q1_Courier__Q2_BoldPS__Q0_OFF R__Reverse Linefeed__Rn/216" n=36/ln SE}__S0_Superscript__S1_Subscript T__Sub/Superscript OFF U__Underline____U1_ON__U0_OFF W__Double Width_W1_ON_W0_OFF_____x4E}0 Y__Paper-out_DISABLE____Z_ENABLE ____________________________ _______ #13 HELP> Menu START> Load Macro NoticeE} the right side includes lower case letters (p,x) which should be inverse. They indicate the values you also need ifE} you use the printer commands on that line. This is a reminder that page width is changed and you may also needE} to change your margin numbers for different sized fonts. When you finish your help file, save it to disk with E}your other TPHELP files. Notice the bottom line of mine is #13, so I use the name: TPHELP.13 Now you have to load TEXTPE}RO.MAX and add the macro to display the new help file. I decided to use [OPTION_P] for my macro key for the print drivE}er help file: P<=>pp<=>TPHELP.13,E: RETURN] Notice the "Goto" macro key, linking the upper case "E}P" to lower case "p" since you want it to work with either case. Save TEXTPRO.MAX to your default drive and then lE}oad it into the macro buffer with [CTRL_V]. Test it out by pressing [OPTION_P] to see the help file displayed on the scE}reen. If you redefined some inverse numbers in your print driver, edit TPHELP.06 to reflect the new values for theE} inverse numbers. DISK MACRO HELP FILE While on the subject of help files, I made another help file listing all my inE}teractive disk macros with short descriptions: |TextPRO 5.20X |Macro Library| _Macro_____Function________E}_________ CARDCR_CL_PS Card_Cond.(17)__Rgt/Left CARDER_EL_PS Card_Elite(12)__Rgt/Left CR________Remove Carriage Returns DE}UAT______DTC DUAT flight plan ENV__ENV2_Envelope__PS size envelope LINK______Link-load to bank 2 & M _____________________E}________________ #14 HELP> Menu START> Load Macro I only included an abbreviated listing to show you how to E}do it. The text in the top and bottom lines are inverse. Do not put a [RETURN] at the end of the bottom line of any TPHEE}LP file. This will retain the cursor on that line when it is displayed on screen, giving you one extra line befoE}re it scrolls the title. Save this as TPHELP.14. Add another macro key to your TEXTPRO.MAX file to display thiE}s help file. Since macros use [CTRL_V] to load, I used [OPTION_V] to read it, but [OPTION_M] (for Macros) woulE}d work just as easily. Use the example above and substitute the new letter and change the file extension to .14 iE}nstead of .13. PRINTING ADDRESS LABELS Here is a tip I worked out for my sister who had to mail about 250 nE}ewsletters. She needed to print labels from her address list. This is an easy way to do it. The address list musE}t be a simple text file which you can create with any word processor. Each address must have enough carriage returns toE} total six lines. A 3-line address should be followed by three blank lines with [RETURN] characters only. A 4-line E}address would be followed by two extra [RETURN] characters. Save your address list to disk. If your list is overE} 200 addresses, you might consider splitting the list alphabetically. i.e. ADDRESS.AM and ADDRESS.NZ. This will keep yE}ou from filling the buffer. You can print the two files separately, using wild cards in the DOS commmand. A standaE}rd 3 1/2" x 15/16" label will permit about 30 characters per line at 10 cpi pitch, or 36 letters at 12 cpi. Set the lE}abels in your printer with the print head on the second line of the first label. A label will hold 5 lines at thE}e default 6 lines/inch spacing. Use DOS to copy the address list from disk to printer, typing the sourceE} and destination like this: D:ADDRESS.??,P:[RETURN] That's all there is to it. Pretty simple, huh? You can send E}any font to the printer before copying the address file but do not turn off the printer between installing the fE}ont and copying the file. PRINTING TWO COLUMNS I made a hard copy of my sister's address list for her and printE}ed it in two-columns per page to save paper. I'll explain how to format TextPRO for two-column printing. For E} an address list like above, you have to make a separate file with only five lines per address. Load the 6-line listE}. Use [CTRL_G] and type [ESC][CTRL_+] three times. This enters three [RETURN] characters at the "Find:" promptE}. Press [RETURN] and enter two [ESC][CTRL_+] characters at the "Change:" prompt. After the global replaE}ce, your address list will have one [RETURN] character removed from each address, leaving 5-lines each. This will alloE}w 11 addresses per page in each column. Save it under a diferent filename than your 6-line list. At the top of tE}he list, insert the following two printer format lines: 11138459 214178459 TheE} top line is for printing the first pass. The bottom line follows an info character and is not used until the E} second pass. With the top and bottom margins set at 4 and 59, it will allow exactly 55 printed lines, or 11 5-lE}ine addresses. No addresses will be split between columns or pages. 1 tells TextPRO to start printing at paE}ge 1. The second line starts at page 2. 1 tells TextPRO to skip 1 page when printing. Thus it will print all theE} odd numbered pages when the first format line is active (1, 3, 5, etc.). If there is more than one file in yE}our list, add the "goto" command for printing linked files at the end of each file except the last. (Due to a bug in E}4.56 and 5.0, the maximum length of the dev:filename.ext recognized by the "goto" command is 14 instead of 1E}5.) My example only uses 12: D:ADDRESS.NZ[RETURN] Insert the paper with the top line under the print head aE}nd print the address list with [CTRL_P]. When finished, roll the paper back to the original position. Insert an invE}erse in front of the top format line. [CTRL_DELETE] the from the second format line. Print the second pass wiE}th [CTRL_P]. It will start printing the right column with page 2 and all the even-numbered pages. I wanted to print a E}footer with page numbers and a title, so I counted the total printed pages and made a new file to print just the footE}er line. Let us assume it is six pages. Set the paper back to the first page, clear the editor and enter a footerE} line like this: TITLE OF ADDRESS LISTpage <#>[RETURN] The left margin of our document was seE}t at 1 and footers ignore the left margin so I left a space after the so the title would line up with the left E} column. Since I want to print footers on six pages, I needed to add five inverse characters, to force next-pagE}e five times, for a total of six pages. Print the "footer" file and it will add the footer text and page numbers on E} your two-column document. That wasn't too difficult, was it? You can use the same principle and similar margins E} to print two-column text files. If you want 38 columns instead of 37, change the left margin in the top line to 0 aE}nd the right margin in the second line to 79. You might want to include 1 in your format lines to justify E} the right margins like in magazines although it is not necessary. When printing text files this way, the laE}st printed page will not come out even. There is an easy way to correct this. Print the two-column text file as eE}xplained above. Tear off the last printed page with uneven columns. Delete the two printer format lines from thE}e top of your file with [CTRL_D] and [P] twice. Use [SELECT_CTRL_F] to find the first few words at the top of E}the last page. Put cursor on first word and enter [SELECT_CTRL_U] to "Delete to TOP" of text. Reply [Y]es and youE} will be left with only the text on the last page. Type [CTRL_R] to replace the format lines from the paste buffeE}r. Be sure the is in front of the second line, not the first. Count the total lines on your printed last page aE}nd divide by two to find how many lines you want on each side of the page. Assume you have 84 lines and want 42 in E}each column. Add the top margin (4) to find line number 46. Change bottom margin to 46. Print the left columnE} and reset the paper to the top. Move the from the second format line to the top and print the right hand column.E} Load your footer file and replace the <#> with the actual page number and remove the inverse s at the end. E}Reset the last page and print the footer. Voila! You now have an evenly spaced last page to add to the otheE}r two-column pages of your document. _____________________________________ Frank Walters E} T.A.C.O. Bell BBS 08/31/94 DG o=o=o=o=o= PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE by Jack Gedalius May--June, 1997 The clI}ub had a very successful Valentine's Day dinner at Lambrou's in Island Park, New York. We were happy to see MrsI}. Alex Pignato with her daughters and sons-in-law. At the February meeting Al Sharkis demonstrated a program thatI} dumps font to a printer buffer. He also showed us the Frank Walters Decode program and a space story-anI} adventure game. He demonstrated a disk from TWAUG which had a ping pong game with obstructions. This was an excelleI}nt game. The disk had other games on it. At the March meeting we welcomed the members from LIAUG. At the luncheon I}they brought equipment for demonstration and sale. Ron Fetzer showed a program called ANALYZER which chI}ecks electrical voltage and wave form. He also demonstrated a program called STAR STUFFER. It designs fonts toI} a printer. We all had a good time. We regret to inform you of the loss of the mother-in-law of Al Sharkis. TheI} April meeting was conducted at my home. Stan Schenfeld donated all his Atari equipment consisting of computers, I} disk drives, a printer, and many programs. The members of the club went WILD over the equipment. EvI}eryone bought something. Al Sharkis demoed a disk from TYNE & WEAR consisting of a lottery program, Pixel ArtistI} Deluxe, and other programs. He also showed an SLCC disk which on one side had a karate master and on the I} other a text adventure game. Al previewed for us another disk from the LEANDRO COMPUTER CLUB which consisted I}of many games and utilities. He also showed us an excellent disk from Club Cenacle of France that included aI} "machine-code tutor". Ron Fetzer demoed a disk from ABBUC. The meeting ended with everyone happy with his purchases.I} Bye for now, JACK GEDALIUS o=o=o=o=o=HX o=o=o=o=o= MINUTES OF THE 4/19/97 OHAUG MEETING GENERAL MEETING: Meeting was held at the home of ourM} president, Jack Gedalius because the library was closed. The meeting began with AL SHARKIS testing a BOB TERM diskM} for a mistake that was on it. TREASURER'S REPORT: We are in the black and doing okay. POTPOURRI: Newsletter should M}be out May 10th. AL SHARKIS passed around a printout of a WEB page which provides listings of user groups and BBSs. We'M}re on it! AL SHARKIS has a second letter from THOMAS WRAY; he also has a letter from BEN POEHLAND, the letter says N}he gave up ATARI for IBM and isn't happy with it; he also has mail from a number of other people. The discN}ussion went on to a new member, SYSOP TXG, whose rather extensive equipment list will appear in the next newslN}etter. We are still exchanging mail with a number of clubs and AL has a disk containing columns and news arN}ticles written by SAM COREY of JACG over the last several years. Sam had a stroke in January 1997 and sent N}all his articles to us to use as much as we want. If JACG is still putting out a newsletter, we're not receiving it.N} DEMONSTRATIONS: AL SHARKIS showed the latest Tyne & Wear disk around because of the nice label; it was thier disk #2N}6 and went into our library as #678. The disk was accompanied by a newsletter in booklet form and the programs on tN}he disk included some of everything -- machine language programming examples included. The San Leandro ComputN}er club sent us two disks (March and April) and a very short print newsletter without much info. SLCC disk #1503, MaN }rch '97 (Library #679) had a Karate program on side one, and text adventure games on side 2. Next we saw their AprilN } '97 effort, (their number 1504, our library number #680) which includes games such as "Fresh Start", "JeoparN }dy", "A Maze Chase", "Launch", "Meet the Alien Invaders" and others. It includes a program with which you can set up aN } HELP key for your own programs. Side two includes sound programs, and we demonstrated, "Woof Woof." Then AL demod N } two disks from CLUB CENACLE in France. Club Cenacle's print newsletters are all in French (translated by MARY N} GEDALIUS with apologies). Their December 1996 newsletter was short, but the February 1997 issue, N} which accompanied the disks, was an extensive booklet. Side One of the first disk contains the UNARC programN} and a large number of files in ARC'd form. They are very useful utility programs. The archves are password protectN}ed (if you order these disks, you will have to remember to set the program for "encripted" and use the password "HS220N}21997" when asked. On side two of disk one we demoed "Space Ball" game and a few others. The second disk has the BN}itter Reality Demo on side one and a very fine assembly language tutorial on side 2 (Library #681, #682.) RON FN}ETZER demonstrated the ABBUC Magazin Number 48 disk. He translated some of the German in the text portions N}of the disk, which will go into our library as #683. Then Ron showed a program that he had taken from their disN}k. It was a calendar program that does NOT have the infamous "Year 2000" problem! That led to a discussion N}of the probem and its implications for all of us. What Ron did with the program was to package it with an EnglishNC}@@ABcAU@0@@0 bbUSE ARROW KEY <-(LEFT) TO GO TO PREVIOUS MR}ONTH.

FRANK WALTERS haf}s contributed two items to this issue. His Area Code program, newly revised for 1997 and easily revised by YOU, iff} necessary, is included on this side as AREACD97.BAS. You can read about it with the "I" selection from the mf}ain menu. Frank has also written a splendid article about printing with TextPro and you can read that one witf}h the "J" selection. RON FETZER has taken a calendar program from the latest ABBUC disk and translated its dirf}ections into English for you. This calendar program does not fall victim to the infamous "Year 2000" bug you've f}heard about! You must have Turbo Basic to run the program. To do so, you must format a disk with DOS 2.5. Write tf}he DOS files to it. Copy your Turbo Basic program to it. Rename the Turbo Basic proram on the disk you made to Af}UTORUN.SYS. Then copy the files CALENDAR.TUR and CALENDAR.ARB from side 1 of this newsletter disk to that new df}isk. Read Ron's instructions from the newsletter main menu using the "K" selection (you may (optionally) also copy f} the file KALENDAR.TXT from this newsletter disk to your new disk). If Turbo Basic is not in your library, it'f}s in ours! Ask Harold Pegler about it. We have several new members, but one stands out. He's RENE DE BIE, othef}rwise known as SYSOP*TXG. Read about Rene and his extensive Atari equipment list using the "L" selection ff}rom the main menu of side 1. The BASIC program that runs from the space bar on Side 1 is DOUBLE6.BAS, a Backgammon-stylf}e game from the October 1989 issue of A.N.A.L.O.G. magazine that we had on our copy of the Pooldisk. On sif}de 2, the BASIC program that runs from the space bar is HANGMAN.BAS, from the GAMES03_A ramdisk image f}in the MISC. section of our copy of the Pooldisk. This is one of the best HANGMAN games I've ever encountered. Adf}ditionally, look for MULTI.BAS and run it from BASIC. This is a multiplication drill program with an interestinf}g user interface. If you wish to copy MULTI.BAS to another disk, be sure that you also copy MULTI.PIC to thatf} disk. Both are needed to run the program. The program comes from ANTIC Magazine of June 1990 and again, it wf}as on our copy of the Pooldisk. o=o=o=o=o=dA
