Author: Tony Caine

2COL prints two columns, each 80 characters wide, on a standard
sheet of paper. Most dot-matrix and DeskJet printers are supported.
By suppressing unnecessary blank lines and ignoring page breaks,
2COL is able to use a larger font while printing the same number of
pages on one side of a sheet as other compressed print programs. By
using standard draft mode, 2COL prints faster and more readably than
other programs which rely on subscript or graphics mode.

2COL is ideal for printing reference material (such as shareware
manuals) and word processing drafts. It saves paper and storage
space. By putting more information on less paper, 2COL saves you
money when faxing or mailing.

2COL will optionally print in subscript mode, putting almost 8 pages
on one side of a sheet of paper. By using 2COL's two-sided printing
option, almost 16 pages of information can be printed on a single
sheet of paper.

Comes with Windows PIF to allow background printing similar to Print
Manager.Drag and drop files onto 2COL using File Manager

The program has been designed to be easy to use, even for the
novice. It comes with a demo/tutorial which demonstrates most of the
printing options and shows how to use them.
