Bytech Introduces PrintWorks

-Text Formatting now possible in VB and in the API-

Pomona, NY - Bytech Business Systems, Inc., announces the release of
PrintWorks. PrintWorks, a Visual Basic custom control, will easily create,
preview, and print documents of any kind. Initial feedback from PrintWorks
beta users has been overwhelmingly positive, proving an enormous need for
PrintWorks many benefits.

PrintWorks manages a true WYSIWYG print preview

A built-in, highly functional preview window is used for both screen
display and printing. One line of code launches this window from your
applications, allowing users to scroll through the pages, zoom in or out,
and print some or all of the pages. PrintWorks automatically handles mixed
landscape and portrait pages, so print jobs can have mixed orientations.
The VBX supports works directly with the Windows API printing functions,
so any type of Windows printer can be used, including a FAX.

PrintWorks uses a powerful Windows Dynamic Link Library (DOCMAN.DLL),
written in C++, to process your documents. This results in very fast
displaying and printing, because it communicates directly with the Windows
API.

Graphics library with powerful text formatting simplifies creation of
output

In addition to managing documents, DOCMAN.DLL also contains a graphics
library so you can easily create your output. The graphics and text action
properties are modeled after traditional BASIC commands. In addition, the
handle to the metafile device context is always available during creation
of a page. This permits you to execute your own graphics functions, or
access the Windows API directly from your code. Thus, PrintWorks is
inherently extensible.

PrintWorks creates output by actually drawing it, not by using graphics
controls or executing a form print. The latter two methods, which are
available from within Visual Basic, drain resources, are difficult to
create, display slowly, and produce poor quality output. PrintWorks uses
the inherent graphics capabilities of the Windows API to create scalable
metafiles to represent each page. A metafile is Windows internal device
independent graphics file format. Output stored in this manner can be
previewed or printed in the most efficient and highest quality possible.
You can save each metafile to disk for later use, as an archive, or for
other applications. lt is an efficient way to save data.

PrintWorks saves hours of difficult programming. One line of code formats
an entire paragraph. Users can easily create 2-D and 3-D bar graphs and
pie charts.

Integrates with Visual Forms for Windows

If you are using Visual Forms/WIN, PrintWorks adds the additional
functionality of allowing your pages to have a base form, including a
template for filling in the form with data. Properties are provided for
creating stunning reports containing formatted text, graphics, and charts
and graphs.

PrintWorks has an introductory price of $149.00. Bytech products are
