This directory contains some files I've developed to work
with the LN03 printer (and some LA100 and terminal stuff).
Specifically, there are files to set the LN03 to different
orientations (Landscape or Portrait) and different text sizes (10,
12 and 13.6 characters per inch).  In addition, I developed a form
and scripts so that ALL-IN-1 V2.0 users can set the printer as AI1
does not (at this time) recognize the LN03 as a valid device. 
There is also a script and command file so AI1 can print to a
device on a terminal printer port without placing garbage at the
beginning and end of the document, particularly with non-DEC
printers.  There is also an article on the ALL-IN-1 TXL and a
serious WPS problem.


     10LINE.LA100 and 19LINE.LA100 set an LA100 for forms 10 and
19 lines high (for mailing labels).  Our LA100 doesn't have a
keyboard so sending a file is the only way to do it, plus it
allows ALL-IN-1 to do it as well.

     AI1PORT.DOC (and .RNO) contains three articles: the first
describes how I got ALL-IN-1 to print to a terminal printer port
without spurious characters (with some help from DEC).  The second
is a quick description of how to really remove and compile a TXL
while ALL-IN-1 is running.  The third describes what I believe to
be a very serious problem with the way WPS outputs text to
terminals and files (with or without AI1). They should also appear
soon in the OA section of the combined newsletter.

     CLEAR.SCREEN clears and resets VT100 and VT200 family
terminals.

     LANDSCAPE.100, LANDSCAPE.120, and LANDSCAPE.132 set an LN03
for printing long side horizontally with the given number of
columns.

     LN03.TXT is a sample file: print it on an LN03 and you will
see all of the built in fixed pitch sizes and alphabets.  It can
also be printed on other DEC devices to see what character sets
are available (for example, if the technical or other optional
character set has been downloaded into a VT200 family terminal).

     PORTRAIT.80, PORTRAIT.96 and PORTRAIT.108 set the LN03 for
printing long side vertically with the given number of characters.
PORTRAIT.80 is the equivalent of the default setting.

     PORT_CANNON.COM is used with PRINT_C.SCP so that ALL-IN-1 can
print to a terminal printer port without adding a lot of extra
garbage characters.


     PRINT10L.SCP, PRINT19L.SCP, PRINTL132.SCP, PRINTP108.SCP,
PRINTP80.SCP, PRINTP96.SCP, and PRINTRESET.SCP are used so
ALL-IN-1 can change the LN03 characteristics.

     PRINTER.FRM is added to ALL-IN-1 to allow users to set
printer characteristics.  A description of the form is in
PRINTER.FLG

     SETPRINT.DOC (and .RNO) describes how the above form looks to
an AI1 user and how many columns and lines are on each form.

     RESET.PRINTER resets an LN03 to it's power-up settings in
case one of the other commands goofs.
