Abstract: This program simplifies the process of printing a file
on a LA50 compatible printer attached to a VT100 compatible
terminal. The printer can be configured for 40, 80 or 132
columns and normal or enhanced density. If the file is
unpaginated, a four line skip is inserted over page
perforations. For paginated documents, the formfeed is
expanded to the required number of linefeeds to circumvent
the TT: handler's habit of gobbling up formfeeds. The file
name is printed at the top of the first page. The program
is set up for seventy lines per page with a four line skip,
i.e. sixty-six lines per page on A4 paper. These parameters
can be readily altered. The default options are normal
density, eighty columns. Other combinations, if required,
are presented as yes/no choices.
Notes: TSX-PLUS V5 or later uses SYSGEN options word to determine if
under TSX or
RT-11.
