To use this program with GEOS, you MUST set GWE to print using BIOS.  This is
done by running PREFERENCES and clicking on the COMPUTER icon.  From there,
choose the BIOS button for LPT1:.  After this is done, exit to DOS and run the
VPRINT program using the following switches:

     VPRINT filename.ext /b64 /p1 /i

This will setup the VPRINT program to intercept the output to LPT1: and store
the data in a file called "filename.ext". (or what ever filename you select).

                           WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?
                           ----------------------

Say for instance, you have a friend or know of a company with a color post-
script printer, but they are not wize enough to purchase Geoworks Ensemble.
Now then, you have been itching to see how your favorite GeoDocument would
look if it was printed on this printer, but you can't convince the owner to
loan it to you for a couple of days.  Ahhh, VPRINT saves the day!!!! You
simply load VPRINT, enter GeoWorks and change your printer to the color post-
script printer and print the file as you normally would.  After you exit GW,
you find a nice long file (about 3 or 4 megs) has magically appeared on your
hard drive.  Archive the file, copy it to a floppy, and take it to the 
computer that's hooked up to the color printer.  Copy the file to the hard 
drive and decompress it.  Next, just copy it to LPT1: using the binary switch!
For example if the file is named FILENAME.EXT, you would type the following:
   
                 copy /b filename.ext lpt1:

Thats it!  You don't even need a printer hooked up to ypur system to use this
program.

There is, however, one small drawback...

                                 WARNING
                                 -------

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ACCESS THE HARD DRIVE FROM GEOWORKS WHILE THIS PROGRAM IS 
RUNNING.  ANY ATTEMPT TO ACCESS THE DRIVE WHILE VPRINT IS INTERCEPTING OUTPUT
WILL RESULT IN AN IMMEDIATE CRASH, LOCKING UP YOUR SYSTEM AND POSSIBLY DAMAGING
SOME OF YOUR FILES. SINCE SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS CLICKING ON A MENU CAN ACCESS 
THE HARD DRIVE, I FOUND IT BEST JUST TO LEAVE THE SYSTEM TOTALLY ALONE UNTIL 
THE PRINT PROCESS IS COMPLETE!
