There's nothing official, but I found something from one person
|
|
via our internal BBS - he sent me the files... I keep thinking I could
|
|
just drop 'em off, but I've been getting to work early and leaving late,
|
|
I should have just gotten your mailing addr.
|
|
Call me at work and drop off a mailing addr, or leave it here as a
|
|
command when you do the (G)ood-bye command.
|
|
Sorry I didn't get it to you sooner!

I think low-density is OK, but the BIOS didn't support 1.44 - internally
|

in IBM I checked - everyone was using some special program someone internally

wrote.

Will this be a full windows application? If so, you need to get the
|
|
toolkit, or work in a language that has it built-in, such as Visual Basic,
|
|
or Borland ... I forget which one.... (even the sample program blows up ;-)

|
|
|
|
"Vectoring"? You mean, a line from (1,1) to (5,5), and having it
|
|
show up? NO! This is a VERY complex issue. For one thing, there would
|
|
have to be a printer driver for every different printer; then there's
|
|
the issue of how much memory you want to devote, etc.
|
|
The typical way that a package dumps to a printer in graphics mode,
|
|
is this:
|
|
1. create a buffer in memory as large as possible. It represents a
|
|
"Band" of the printer - for example at 200 DPI, 8" wide, B/W only, you
|
|
have 200 bytes per horizontal dot line - lets say you could afford 20K,
|
|
this would be 100 vertical dot lines - a half inch (only!).
|
|
2. Run your graphics generation program, a vector at a time, to the
|
|
output driver - which then uses well-documented "clipping" techniques to
|
|
determine if that particular line is "in" the "band" currently in memory,
|
|
and if so, it "plots" that line into the "band".
|
|
3. When all of the graphics have been processed, "dump" that band to
|
|
the printer - it will thus print 1/2" vertically by 8" wide.
|
|
4. Clear the buffer, logically move it down (to the next 1/2").
|
|
5. loop back to step 2 - yes, generate the WHOLE thing again, this time
|
|
capturing just the parts that are in the 2nd 1/2" of vertical space.
|
|
----
|
|
Needless to say, this is a VERY non-trivial thing to do! It is MUCH
|
|
easier with a Laser with a full-page of memory, since you can plot the
|
|
vectors directly out to the printer memory then just issue the print page
|
|
when you're done.

|
to MICHAEL SHARTIAG re: R/POSTSCRIPT VS PCL
|
|
|
|
It would be printer dependent. For example, (a pretty BAD example)
|
|
the postscript printer I use at work requires me to set up a file
|
|
"standard_output = ascii", and then run a "PagePrinter Config" pointing
|
|
to the file - after that I can just treat the printer as a ProPrinter,
|
|
even including graphics. When I need Postscript again, I have to run
|
|
the config program pointing to a file containing the one line
|
|
"standare_output = PostScript". I'm not saying yours is ANYTHING LIKE THIS
|
|
but that that's how one mfgr did it. I believe the newer version of the
|
|
driver for that printer uses multiple simulated ports - i.e. LPT2: is
|
|
postscript, LPT1: is ascii, etc.

Are you aware that paper has "sides"? What may seem to bleed a
|
|
little may be the wrong side. I bought some very GOOD paper, and it
|
|
was about the worst I'd tried - six months later I thought about the
|
|
"side" issue - sure enough - the other side was great!
|
|
I use Hammermill paper 10300-2, under $4/ream. For something a bit
|
|
better, there are various Laser related papers.
|
|
P.S. sorry, but I'm a nut on spelling:
|
|
its hear -> it's here.
|
|
seams -> seems
|
|
reguards -> regards
|
|
aprox -> approx
|
|
heh heh you might consider one of the spelling checkers.. (though it
|
|
won't catch things like "there $23.99" which took me a while to figure out
|
|
meant "They are $23.99" -> "They're $23.99".

to ALL re: WHAT TO DO WITH AN IBM 8512?
|
|
|

I have an IBM 8512 (their el cheapo lo-res one) that just died on me.
|
|
There's something wrong with the vertical sync; the characters just
|
|
flip from the bottom of the screen to the top.
|
|
|
|
How much would it cost to get this sucker fixed anyway? In the meantime,
|
|
I'm using a Panasonic C1381i; it's much nicer than the 8512, too (not
|
|
to mention less expensive).
