Information about “UTILITIES GALORE”
Make your printer serve you better with this collection of utilities.
There's even a game thrown in for fun!
DIRPRN prints a disk directory sorted in various ways to make it easy to
find a file. ENVPRN turns your computer into an electric typewriter for
quickly dashing off addresses on an envelope in a variety of fonts.
LABPRN works similarly but is specifically formatted to handle labels,
such as for binders/drawers. MERPRN merges several separate text files
into one formatted printed text. SETPRN sets the printer parameters
prior to using a print spooler. XTRPRN extracts and prints call
declarations and comments from Turbo Pascal source files.
All the programs let you select the print quality, text style, margin
width, page numbering, printer port, and line spacing. They can be
added as batch files to run whenever needed.
COLORE lets you choose the colors your monitor will display when
your system first boots-up. You can select from 16 different colors for
the foreground, background, and border of your monitor.
SURVIVAL is a game that requires quick reflexes. With a boxing glove
you must punch monsters before they descend to the bottom of the screen,
sending them back to the top.
LABEL computerizes your personal address/telephone directory for easy
reference and printing of reports and labels. Menu options let you
print: address labels (using standard 15/16" x 3-1/2" wide labels),
list of all records (done with two entries side-by-side on 8-1/2" x 11"
paper), telephone list (only those records with a telephone number are
printed), and individual records you select. Handles both three and
four line addresses, automatically suppressing blank lines.
DOCFORM lets you add printing instructions to any text file to
specify boldface print, underlined print, margins, double or triple
spacing, headers, and footers -- which then print correctly on
almost every printer.

DIRPRN.TXT
DirPRN by JJO
PURPOSE
DirPRN may be invoked from the DOS prompt or from within a batch
file (see below) to secure disk or directory files listings, sort
them (optional) and print them (always).
If no printer options are selected, DirPRN defaults to Epson and
should be compatible with most printers.
USAGE
Syntax: DIRPRN [?][pathspec] [options]
Parameters: [] optional and <> required, where a parameter is a
character or a string (no spaces). Parameter sets must be separated
by one or more spaces where so shown above.
Parameter List
? means display this file (/? is also acceptable).
Pathspec is the disk or directory to search; e. g: a:\ or c:\DOS.
If pathspec is omitted, the current directory is used.
Options, one or more of (any order and case);
/B forces black & white display.
/C centers header and date.
/D inserts date.
/H:c sets header style (c = (S)tandard, (H)igh or (W)ide).
/L:n sets line spacing (n = 6, 4 or 8 lpi).
/M:n sets margin (n = 0..10).
/N insert page numbers.
/P:n chooses printer port (n = 1..2).
/Q:c sets print quality (c = (D)raft, (E)mphasized or (L)etter).
/S:c sort criteria (c = (N)ame, (E)xtension, (D)ate or (S)ize).
/S:pc p is optional prefix for c (p = (A)ll directory entries)
where default (no prefix) is files, only.
/T:c sets text style (c = (P)ica, (E)lite or (C)ompressed).
/U:c selects printer (c = (E)pson, (D)ataproducts or (I)BM).
The defaults are listed first.
If H, L, Q or T are specified for other than an Epson (or
clone), then enter a printer code.
NOTES
If there are command line errors or the specified printer is
unavailable, DirPRN halts with an error message. Error messages are
beeped and left on the screen when DirPRN terminates.
If a header style is specified, it only affects printing of the
directory name (header). If centering is specified, only the header
and date are centered.
This file may be printed via MerPRN or by typing at the DOS prompt
TYPE DIRPRN.TXT > PRN.
BATCH FILE USAGE
DirPRN is designed for execution from within a batch file. When so
used, test for an error code returned by DirPRN and, if found, stop
batch execution until the problem is cleared. This can be done by
inserting a line like this after each call to DirPRN:
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO Error
where "Error" can be any line(s) which cause the batch process to
terminate. See the sample batch file DirEx.Bat.

DOCUMENTATION FORMATTER (DOCFORM)
______________
by Scott Pakin
DOCFORM
DOCFORM is a formatter program that makes it easy to generate well
formatted program documentation with boldface print, underlined print,
margins, double or triple spacing, headers, and footers.
DOCFORM
Documentation formatted with DOCFORM will print correctly on almost
every printer.
_____________________________
How to use these instructions
<Enter> refers to the <Enter> or <Return> key on your keyboard.
"Enter" means type the underlined text that follows and press <Enter>.
"Ctrl-some letter" means hold down the <Ctrl> key and tap the letter
that follows.
__________________
DOCFORM
How to use DOCFORM
First, use a text editor or a word processor that can save files in
ASCII format to create the text file you would like formatted. Enter
no more than 80 characters per line, or less if you are going to have
a left margin. For example, this document was written with 70
characters per line and formatted with a left margin of 5, which gives
it a right margin of 5, for a total of 80 characters.
To have a word printed in boldface, insert a Ctrl-B before the first
and after the last character to appear in boldface. To have a word
underlined, do the same thing, but replace Ctrl-B with Ctrl-U.
The way to enter control characters varies from editor to editor. For
example, with some editors, you can enter control codes directly. In
SideKick
others, such as Borland's SideKick, you have to enter Ctrl-P before
entering the control character.
DOCFORM
After you have created the text file, use DOCFORM to format it.
_______
Enter DOCFORM at the DOS prompt. You should see a screen with a
column of choices on the left side:

Other things you should know
_____
For "Output file name," you can enter LPT1: to have the output go
directly to a printer instead of a file.
Boldface and underlining can stretch across lines. That is, an ending
Ctrl-B, for example, can appear a few lines after a starting Ctrl-B.
Words can be both boldface and underlined. Example:
This is bold
This is bold.
__________________
This is underlined.
________________________________
This is both bold and underlined
This is both bold and underlined.
You can terminate document formatting prematurely by pressing <Esc>.
You will probably have to press <Esc> a number of times in quick
succession before it works. The message "Execution cancelled" will

appear when the computer recognizes the <Esc> and stops formatting.
Your output file will be formatted up to the point you pressed <Esc>.
Hard (forced) page breaks can be entered by placing a Ctrl-L on its
___
own line or at the end of another line.
Boldprint doesn't work on the HP LaserJet printers, and I suspect it
doesn't work on most other non-impact printers, either.
To make your documents as universally printable as possible, follow
these rules:
* Don't use tabs (ASCII code 9) because some printers, such as
the HP LaserJet, ignore them. Instead, space over to the
desired position.
* Don't use the PC's graphics characters (ASCII codes 127-255) or
unprintable characters (ASCII codes 0-31) because most printers
are unable to print them. However, the following unprintable
are
characters are legal: Ctrl-B (bold), Ctrl-U (underline),
Ctrl-M (carriage return), Ctrl-L (form feed), and Ctrl-H
(backspace).
* Don't put more than 80 characters on a line. Most printers
default to 80 characters per line (10-pitch pica).

DOCFORM
How DOCFORM works
DOCFORM
DOCFORM is able to function properly on so many different printers
because it uses a generic formatting technique instead of sending
printer escape codes, which are specific to a particular printer. To
DOCFORM
accomplish underlining, DOCFORM backspaces the printer and prints
the underline character (ASCII code 95) over the words to be
underlined. Boldface is accomplished similarly. Instead of printing
underlines, the printer backspaces and overstrikes the original
DOCFORM
characters. In short, DOCFORM prints boldface and underlining the
same way a typewriter does.

quickly dashing off addresses on an envelope in a variety of fonts.
LABPRN works similarly but is specifically formatted to handle labels,
such as for binders/drawers. MERPRN merges several separate text files
into one formatted printed text. SETPRN sets the printer parameters
prior to using a print spooler. XTRPRN extracts and prints call
declarations and comments from Turbo Pascal source files.
All the programs let you select the print quality, text style, margin
width, page numbering, printer port, and line spacing. They can be
added as batch files to run whenever needed.
COLORE lets you choose the colors your monitor will display when
your system first boots-up. You can select from 16 different colors for
the foreground, background, and border of your monitor.
SURVIVAL is a game that requires quick reflexes. With a boxing glove
you must punch monsters before they descend to the bottom of the screen,
sending them back to the top.
LABEL computerizes your personal address/telephone directory for easy
reference and printing of reports and labels. Menu options let you
print: address labels (using standard 15/16" by 3-1/2" wide labels),
list of all records (done with two entries side-by-side on 8-1/2" by 11"
paper), telephone list (only those records with a telephone number are
printed), and individual records you select. Handles both three and
four line addresses, automatically suppressing blank lines.
DOCFORM lets you add printing instructions to any text file to
specify boldface print, underlined print, margins, double or triple
spacing, headers, and footers--which then print correctly on
almost every printer.

MERPRN.TXT
MerPRN by JJO
PURPOSE
MerPRN may be invoked from the DOS prompt or from within a batch
file (see below) to merge and print an unformatted text file pair: a
base (target) file and its associated header. The header file
typically contains descriptive text which complements the base and
must have the same filename, with .Hdr as its extension.
If no printer options are selected, MerPRN defaults to Epson and
should be compatible with most printers.
USAGE
Syntax: MERPRN [?] <filespec> [options]
Parameters: [] optional and <> required, where a parameter is a
character or a string (no spaces). Parameter sets must be separated
by one or more spaces where so shown above.
Parameter List
? means display this file (/? is also acceptable).
Filespec is the target file (and its path); e. g: c:\Any\File.Ext.
If a file with the same name and extension of .Hdr exists, it
will be printed first as the header for the target file. If not
present, the target file title is used as the header.
Options, one or more of (any order and case);
/B forces black & white display.
/C centers header and date.
/D inserts date after the header.
/H:c sets header style (c = (S)tandard, (H)igh or (W)ide).
/L:n sets line spacing (n = 6, 4 or 8 lpi).
/M:n sets margin (n = 0..10).
/N causes pages to be numbered.
/P:n chooses printer port (n = 1..2).
/Q:c sets print quality (c = (D)raft, (E)mphasized or (L)etter).
/T:c sets type style (c = (P)ica, (E)lite or (C)ompressed).
/U:c selects printer (c = (E)pson, (D)ataproducts or (I)BM).
The defaults are listed first.
If H, L, Q or T are specified for other than an Epson (or
clone), then enter a printer code.
NOTES
If there are command line errors or the specified target file and/or
printer is/are unavailable, MerPRN halts with an error message.
Error messages are beeped and left on the screen when MerPRN
terminates.
If a header style is specified, it only affects printing of the
header file or default header. If centering is specified, only the
header and date are centered.
This file may be printed with MerPRN or by typing at the DOS prompt
TYPE MERPRN.TXT > PRN.
BATCH FILE USAGE
MerPRN is designed for execution from within a batch file. When so
used, test for an error code returned by MerPRN and, if found, stop
batch execution until the problem is cleared. This can be done by
inserting a line like this after each call to MerPRN:
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO Error
where "Error" can be any line(s) which cause the batch process to
terminate. See the sample batch file MerEx.Bat.

PRNSUITE.DOC
PRNSuite by JJO Software
Release 1
PROGRAMS
PRNSuite is a set of related print utilities with a common user
interface. It consists of the following programs (.Exe), related
information (.Txt) and sample batch files (.Bat):
DirPRN (v1.2) - prints directory contents sorted (optional) in
various ways. See DirPRN.Txt and DirEx.Bat. Type DIRPRN ? for syntax.
EnvPRN (v1.5) - prints various type styles for addressing envelopes.
Interactive, type ENVPRN to run.
LabPRN (v1.3) - prints various type styles for binder/drawer labels.
Interactive, type LABPRN to run.
MerPRN (v1.3) - prints a merged set of related text files. See
MerPRN.Txt and MerEx.Bat. Type MERPRN ? for syntax.
SetPRN (v1.3) - sets a printer for print spooling. See SetPRN.Txt and
SetEx.Bat. Type SETPRN ? for syntax.
XtrPRN (v1.7) - extracts and prints call declarations and comments
(optional) from Turbo Pascal source files. See XtrPRN.Txt and
XtrEx.Bat. Type XTRPRN ? for syntax.
The information (.Txt) files must be in the current directory or a
\Print directory to be viewed (via ?) from within the programs. The
interactive programs are self-contained; i.e., have no information
files. The information files may be printed via MerPRN or by typing
at the DOS prompt TYPE Filename.Ext > PRN.
For best results on CGA systems with monochrome monitors, use the /B
parameter with all of the programs to force black and white operation.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
System: Any member of the IBM PC or PS/2 family, or compatible.
Memory: 64 kb over and above DOS and any resident programs should be
adequate.

SETPRN.TXT
SetPRN by JJO
PURPOSE
SetPRN is intended to be called from a batch file (see below) to
set printer parameters prior to calling a print spooler. SetPRN
always sets the printer's perforation skip function to 5 lines.
If no printer options are selected, SetPRN defaults to Epson and
should be compatible with most printers.
USAGE
Syntax: SETPRN [?][options]
Parameters: [] optional and <> required, where a parameter is a
character or a string (no spaces). Parameters must be separated
by one or more spaces where so shown above.
Parameter List
? means display this file (/? is also acceptable).
Options, one or more of (any order and case);
/B forces black & white display.
/L:n sets line spacing (n = 6, 4 or 8 lpi).

If there are command line errors or the specified printer is
unavailable, SetPRN will halt with an error message. Error messages
are beeped and left on the screen when SetPRN terminates.
Planned upgrades include automatic generation of the print spooler
command line from file and option parameters supplied to SetPRN.
This file amy be printed via MerPRN or by typing at the DOS prompt
TYPE SETPRN.TXT > PRN.
BATCH FILE USAGE
SetPRN is designed for execution from within a batch file; hence,
test for an error code returned by SetPRN and, if found, stop batch
execution until the problem is cleared. This can be done by
inserting a line like this after each call to SetPRN:
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO Error
where "Error" can be any line(s) which cause the batch process to
terminate. See the sample batch file SetEx.Bat.

/B forces black & white display.
/C centers header and date.
/D inserts date after header.
/H:c sets header style (c = (S)tandard, (H)igh or (W)ide).
/L:n sets line spacing (n = 6, 4 or 8 lpi).
/M:n sets margin (n = 0..10).
/N insert page numbers.
/P:n chooses printer port (n = 1..2).
/Q:c sets print quality (c = (D)raft, (E)mphasized or (L)etter).
/T:c sets type style (c = (P)ica, (E)lite or (C)ompressed).
/U:c selects printer (c = (E)pson, (D)ataproducts or (I)BM).
/V include compiler directives and comments.
The defaults are listed first.
If H, L, Q or T are specified for other than an Epson (or
clone), then enter a printer code.
NOTES
If there are command line errors or the specified target file and/or
printer is/are unavailable, XtrPRN halts with an error message.
Error messages are beeped and left on the screen when XtrPRN
terminates.
If a header style is specified, it only affects printing of the
file name (header). If centering is specified, only the header and
date are centered.
This file may be printed via MerPRN or by typing at the DOS prompt
TYPE XTRPRN.TXT > PRN.
BATCH FILE USAGE
XtrPRN is designed for execution from within a batch file. When so
used, test for an error code returned by XtrPRN and, if found, stop
batch execution until the problem is cleared. This can be done by
inserting a line like this after each call to XtrPRN:
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO Error
where "Error" can be any line(s) which cause the batch process to
terminate. See the sample batch file XtrEx.Bat.
