HOW TO USE PRINTDOC.EXE


    PRINTDOC.EXE is a simple command line printing utility to help
    you print copies of the MAXLIB documentation.  It can also be
    used to print other files, such as BASIC source code.

    The PRINTDOC command line looks like this (optional parameters
    are in square brackets [] ):


           C:>  PRINTDOC [path\]filename [/66] [/?] [/h]



    PARAMETER LIST


    No space should be placed between the path (if included) and the
    filename.  All other parameters must be separated by at least one
    space.  If you specify /? or /h for help info, other parameters
    will be ignored.


      filename : name of the file to print out.
      path\    : pathname of file to print out. Optional.
      /66      : directs PRINTDOC to use a 66-line page length. Optional.
                      (PRINTDOC defaults to a 60-line page length.)
      /?       : directs PRINTDOC to display help info. Optional.
      /h       : also directs PRINTDOC to display help info. Optional.



    PRINTDOC FEATURES


    PRINTDOC looks to see if a file has already been formatted into
    pages by looking for embedded form feed characters (ASCII 12).
    If it finds even one, it assumes the file is formatted for
    printing and just sends it to the printer, as is.

    In the absence of form feeds, PRINTDOC breaks the file up into
    pages, adding a few blank lines at the top and bottom of each
    page for better readability.

    If PRINTDOC finds a line of text longer than 75 characters, it
    splits the line at the last space prior to the 75th character,
    adds a line continuation character ("_") to show the break and
    treats the remainder of the line as a second line of text.

    PRINTDOC won't print files with these extensions: EXE, COM, PBL,
    or ZIP.
