PCBOOK                                        Jay Munro
Prints booklets on a LaserJet type printer  Version 1.1
-------------------------------------------------------

Purpose
-------
Prints README and similar ASCII files in booklet format
on an HP LaserJet II, IIp, or III printer. Uses
two-sided printing in landscape mode, with Line Printer
font so that four standard pages of 80 characters/line,
66 lines/page are printed on each sheet without
formatting changes.

Format
------

    PCBOOK [path] filename [/F] [/P] [/D][/C] [/2]
           [/A] [/W] [/S] [/H]

Remarks
-------
The filename can designate any ASCII text file in which
each line is terminated with a Carriage Return/Line
Feed combination. Page Feed characters can be added to
force breaks in addition to those implicit in the
60-line (68-line if a header is used) page length.

Any or all of the /F, /P, and /D command-line switches
can be used to create a one-line header that prints the
filename, page number, and date, respectively, on all
but blank pages. The /W switch causes lines exceeding
80 characters to wrap; by default such lines are
truncated. Adding the /2 switch causes PCBOOK to print
to LPT2 rather than the default LPT1. (Use the DOS MODE
command to implement serial connection, if desired.)
The /A switch can be used to direct output to a file.

PCBOOK sequences the page printing so that all side-one
pages are printed in one pass. The sheets are then put
back in the LaserJet paper tray and all side-two pages
are printed. The finished booklet can then be created
with a single fold. When using the normal (top)
LaserJet output bin the pass-one sheets should be
reinserted in the paper tray without any relative
change in orientation. If rear output from the printer
is used, the sheets must be turned over as a group
before reinsertion. To determine how many sheets will
be required without automatically starting the print
operation, use the /C switch.

The /H switch provides on-screen help for the program,
and the /S switch sounds a beep as each printing pass
is successfully completed.
