I've uploaded two new demos of G-Print to atari.archive so I'm going to
repost the program's description below. You won't see this again unless
I post a new version.
gprnt_dmo.arc is a demonstration version of G-Print which can print to let you
see the quality of G-Print's output. It prints "G-Print demo"
on each page of output. This demo requires that you already`
have GDOS (or G+Plus) and a printer driver with fonts.
gprnt_ox.arc is the G-Print "option explorer." It lets you try out G-Print's
functions without having a copy of GDOS with drivers and fonts.
The option explorer won't print, but it will display a snapshot
of a G-Print screen preview with screen fonts loaded.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes from version 1.02:
Mostly small bug fixes. Problems with title pages using multiple
columns, custom spacing, and page borders, and landscape
printing have been fixed. Command keys for the "Special"
menu options have been added.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The demos are available on atari.archive in the ~atari/newitems directory.
Here's the announcement:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Announcing G-Print, the GEM-based print formatting program for the Atari ST.
G-Print, which is now shipping, reads files from ST Writer, Word Writer ST,
1st Word, and 1st Word Plus as well as straight ASCII files. It then prints
them with a variety of formatting options using GDOS printer drivers and fonts.
Here are _some_ of the things G-Print can do:
* multiple columns * multiple fonts * landscape format print
* title pages * rules and borders * saved configuration files
* run word processor * screen preview * "booklet" print
* microspace justification
Landscape print allows you to print spreadsheets with much more than 80
columns. Even prints on legal size paper in landscape mode.
G-Print also has the unique ability to remap special text effects so that
light print, say, can be printed as outlined or in a special font.
In its fully functional distribution, G-Print provides GDOS and an easy to use
installer program, but a demo version which requires GDOS and a printer driver
with fonts is available on atari.archive in the newitems directory under
gprntdmo.arc. A non-printing demo which doesn't need GDOS is under
gprnt_ox.arc.
G-Print is available for US$27 + $2 S/H
