TPI325.ZIP      Professional Source/Text Print to PCL Laser

TPI.EXE is a source code print formatter for printing source or text files
in a format that suits delivery documentation.  Program defaults and options
are stored in a TPI.INI file and may be overridden on the command line.
The default initialization file was designed for laser printers that
process HP PCL but any printer may be defined.  There are many options 
to adjust the optional borders, custom header and footer formats.

At my job site we use TPI for nearly all our text file printing, 
source or otherwise. The ability to lock formats into a defined 
initialization file yields consistent print formats across several 
printers and users.

If you deliver hard copy source code as part of a documentation package 
or print source for your own reference, this program will yield 
consistent professional looking results with minimal effort.

Version 3.25 includes bug fixes and new features;

   New Features;

      o  Append to output file or overwrite
      o  NEW user defined headers and footers
      o  NEW post-job printer reset codes
   
   Bug Fixes:   
      o  Several man page errors and omissions.
      o  Removed several redundant procedures.
      o  The program will no longer dump the entire (large) help file
         for a simple command line error.

TPI is provided free of charge and the ugly source is available upon request.
I wrote the program to handle the printing needs of our office LANs and have 
already reaped my $$ rewards.

Please, if you use TPI and find it useful or of no value I would appreciate 
a note to that effect.  I plan to support TPI all I can given two kids and 
late night evening hours.
