I have a couple of questions/problems that I thought someone could
help me out with.
First off, let me say that I am running a Compaq Deskpro with
two floppies and 640K.
First Problem.
It seems that my monochromatic Compaq monitor (amber) has two
levels of intensity, sort of a bright, and sort of a half bright.
When I come out of symphony, the level is set to the duller level
as default. When I come out of Wordstar, the level is set at
the brighter level. So, in order to get the brighter level
after using Symphony, I have to go in and out of Wordstar.
Is there some way to circumvent this?
Second Problem
I run a whole series of fortran programs that generate a series
of output files. I then obtain hard copy of these files by using
the command
copy *.* prn
My question is, I would like to have the date and time of the
file's creation on the hard copy. Is there some way to do this?
Third Problem
In order to have these files to look nice, I output them using
the 17 cpi feature of my okidata 92 printer. I have been accessing
this feature by using the hard switches. Is there some way I can
access this feature from the keyboard. I patched wordstar so
that I can do it from there, but I just followed the instructions,
and have no clue what I actually did.
In advance, let me say
Thank You
GINO
Let me say that I am not a programmer, and you will have to
be rather explicit in explaining this to me.

Use: prompt e$[XXn where XX =0 is dim intensity XX =1 is high intensity, e.g. bright printer may be controlled by writing an escape sequence to proint buffer. Using MS Fortran , use the 'char' command to write a suitable sequence, e.g. wite(6,*)char(27),char(xx),char(yy),...... The escape sequence is the same one you used to patch WS. Use ASCII value in place of xx and yy. Remember to reset printer to normal char. size/pitch when finished via a similar command. f you have any problems contact me directly at: Max S.

* Concerning your problem of setting up your printer's cpi from DOS, use debug to set 2 or 3 bytes to the ESC-?? or whatever the Okidata's control code is. Save the 2 or 3 bytes in a file called OKID17.CPI for example. Everytime before you want to print at 17 cpi (or any type of setting you configure) simply copy OKID17.CPI to LPT1:. If for example an ESC 1 does it for 17 cpi, you would use the E command in debug to enter a 1b and a 31. You might want to terminate the string with a carriage return - line feed (0d 0a). ************************************************* * Jeff Miller * * Multimate International Corp. * * 52 Oakland Avenue * * East Hartford, CT 06108-9911 * * (203) 522-2116 x257 * * UUCP: * * ...!seismo!utah-cs!utah-gr!pwa-b!mmintl!jeffm * * * * P.S.
