                           PrintVision
                      Special FormTool Preview
                           Version 3.5F

Hardware Requirements: PrintVision supports IBM-PC, XT, AT, PS/2 or 
compatible computers running DOS 2.0 - 3.3 with graphics monitor and
card supporting CGA, EGA, VGA, or Hercules graphics standards.  A
hard disk is recommended for speed and operation when PrintVision is
writing larger print files to disk.  PrintVision requires 64K when
loaded memory resident.   PrintVision is not copy protected.

PrintVision consists of two executable program files, LPV.EXE and
INSTALL.EXE.  These programs perform the following functions:

1) INSTALL.EXE is the installation program which automatically 
   detects your monitor type, CGA, EGA, VGA, and Hercules and  
   allows the user to select the desired disk drive and subdirectory
   to install PrintVision.  We recommend that you install this
   special version of PrintVision in your FormTool directory.  By
   using the space bar, the installation program will give you an
   option to specify either CGA, EGA, VGA or Hercules provided your
   monitor and graphics card will support it.  Next you may select
   the drive letter.  The space bar changes the displayed drive for
   the drive options available, drive A through drive F.  Next you
   may specify up to an eight character directory name.  The
   INSTALL.EXE program is only needed for proper selection of monitor
   and the transfer of compatible screen font files to the
   PrintVision program disk drive.  Unless you change monitors or
   wish to install the program on a different disk drive or
   subdirectory, you will not need INSTALL.EXE again.

2) LPV.EXE is the memory resident program that allows you to
   intercept output to your LPT: port(s) and provide a full page
   graphic image of your graphics monitor.  Type LPV at the DOS
   prompt in the FormTool subdirectory before loading FormTool to
   load the special limited version of PrintVision.  The program
   requires 64K of RAM available and autoloads in the screen mode. 
   When loaded, the hot key  [Alt] [Space] accesses the PrintVision
   menu which provides the following options.

     a) Screen Output - Selects screen as output device for the
        Special PrintVision Preview FormTool driver only. 
        PrintVision will then intercept any output from FormTool
        using the Special PrintVision Preview driver and displays a
        graphic full page image on monitor.  Selection of Screen
        Output also disables Shift Print Screen and Control Print
        Screen keys on your computer.  All output to the printer is
        monitored when the screen mode is selected.  However printing
        with your normal printer driver will not affected expect for
        some slowing of the printing process.  Therefore, if you are
        not using the preview feature, we recommend switching to
        PRINTER Output by hitting [Alt] [Space] [P].  You can return
        to previewing by selecting the Special PrintVision Preview
        driver and pressing [Alt] [Space] [S].

   b)   Printer Output - Selects printer as output device, output to
        printer is not intercepted or affected in any way.

   c)   Eject Screen Page - This option only functions when the
        screen has been selected as output device, it will display a
        blank page on the screen or a partial printed page that
        remains if the Auto Eject configuration option is OFF.

   d)   Reset PrintVision - Serves same function as printer reset
        except that PrintVision is reset to its default  options. 
        Because PrintVision acts like your printer,  it remembers
        prior printer commands unless the software resets the
        printer.  So if you normally reset your printer you may also
        have to reset PrintVision to see the correct page display.

   e)   Uninstall PrintVision - Removes PrintVision from memory. 
        PrintVision must be the last program loaded to uninstall or
        an error message will be returned.  Any programs, memory
        resident or not, loaded after PrintVision must be unloaded
        before PrintVision can be uninstalled.  After exiting
        FormTool, we recommend that you use [Alt] [Space] [U] to
        uninstall PrintVision and free the 64K memory before going to
        your other application programs.

The PrintVision Display Menu -  The PrintVision Display Menu provides
two (2) options for the user.  NEXT goes to the next page of printed
output or back to your application if the last page.  ZOOM provides a
movable window to select an area to see enlarged on the screen.  The
Zoom Display menu provides NEXT and an UNZOOM option to return to the
full page view.  These menu options may be executed by typing the
first letter of each command or using the arrow keys to highlight the
option and using the ENTER key to execute.


PrintVision Version 1.5F is provided with Serif (Courier), a Sans
Serif (Helvetica) and a PC Line symbol sets.  The PC Line set covers
characters 160 through 255, which supplements the Serif or Sans Serif
ASCII sets with characters 32 through 127.  At this time, PrintVision
Version 1.5F does not support the PC-8 (IBM-US) character numbers 0-
31 or 128-159 although ? will be printed in place of the characters
128-159.  We hope this is not an inconvienience.
