With
PRTWIN your DOS programs will be able to print to
any Windows printer installed on computer or to RTF file
on disk. The program has ability to preview the printout
and select pages to print out of the preview. All what
your software needs to be able to do is to print a
report designed for Epson control codes to an ASCII text
file.
How does PRTWIN work ?
PRTWIN runs in the background on a local
workstation. After first start program creates nine
working directories. Each of directories is dedicated as
a file container for one of nine possible windows
printers. These directories must be accessible for all
DOS programs. The local program sends the file to print
to one of these directories. PRTWIN reads this
file, sends it to the corresponding printer and deletes
it.
If the printout includes basic Epson printer control
codes, program translates those into the commands for
other printer drivers.
Installation
After installation program creates working directory
with nine subdirectories. The default root working
directory is located in C:\PrtWrk folder. You can change
this directory in the Setup. Before use you have to
associate each of subdirectories with one of existing
printers. Rightclick on the icon on Traybar and select
Setup. In the ComboBox select the right printer for each
of the subfolders. Each of the printers has his own
additional setup parameters. You can change top an left
margin, translation mode, print destionation (printer,
RTF file) and enable ability to preview your printouts.
How to register PRTWIN
The unregistered version writes small copyright notice
on bottom of each page. If print destination is RTF
file, then program prints the first page only.
Registered version of PRTWIN costs $24 USD.
You need one license for each workstation.
Developer version of PRTWIN costs $120 USD
with unlimited deployment. PRTWIN may be accessed
by applications developed and/or owned by the registered
PRTWIN customer.
