[comp.sys.amiga.programmer] script file help

hitch@buhub.bradley.edu (Douglas Hanna) (02/03/91)

I'm in need of some help in designing a script file.  What I would
like it to do is take as set if ascii files I have, numbered in this
manner "Contents.xxx" such that xxx goes from 001 to 430 (Yes, they
are the contents files for the Fred Fish disks.  Anyway, I want to
send them to the printer, but I want a FORM FEED placed after the end
of each file, so that each file starts at the top of a new page.  I'm
running Dos 1.3, on a 2000HD w/ 1MEG ram.  All I have for manuals is
the AmigaDOS 1.3 Enhancer Software manual (came with the computer).
Also, what would be an excellent general purpose 1.3 manual to get?
Thanks in advance.

While I could write a script to do this, there's a program on
your 1.3 Extras disk called 'PrintFiles' that will do exactly
what you want.  No script is needed.
