PSET VERSION 1.6a DOCUMENTATION by BARRON F. McINTIRE III REVISED - 17 July 1986 ================================================================= With version 1.6, I have added a command line parsing routine in addition to the interactive menu-driven mode. This will allow you to include PSET in SUBMIT files. It also speeds up operation if you want only one or two settings changed, as you don't have to wait for the menu display. To operate in menu-driven mode, simply enter PSET (assuming that you have re-named this PSET.COM) from the prompt. The menu will appear and you may make your selections from the menu. With version 1.6, the menu no longer appears after every selection, but you can recall it with the entry of a question mark (?). To operate in command line mode, just enter PSET followed by the menu letters. Thus, PSET A V 32 B will initialize the printer, set the left margin at column 32, set elite mode on, and return to DOS. Spaces may be inserted for readability, but are not necessary between commands. Spaces ARE required, however, to end decimal numbers. Thus, PSET V32 B is valid, but PSET V32B is not. PSET V 3 2 B will set the left margin to column 3, set proportional printing on (for MSP-20), and set elite mode on. The point is, be careful of spaces following numbers. Note that in command line mode, an erroneous character will cause an PSET to generate an error message and stop processing at the point where it found the error. All previous commands will be acted upon. There are six files distributed with this revision, as follows: PSETDOC.WS - This text file PSET16A.ASM - The assembly language source code PSET16E.COM - The assembled program for Epson printers PSET16C1.COM - The assembled program for Citizen MSP-10 printers PSET16C2.COM - The assembled program for Citizen MSP-20 printers PSET16G.COM - The assembled program for Gemini printers PSET10.BAS - the original MBASIC version The clear-screen code is currently set for Kaypro computers, so if you are running this on a different computer, you will either have to do without the clear screen or change the code at the CLR label in the source code and reassemble. I hope that you will enjoy this program.
