OVERVIEW
CodePrint is a Windows 3.1 program used for printing ASCII text files
on any printer supported by Windows. You can easily select one or more
files to print with control over how the text is formatted on the
page. You can open and save configurations that allow you to set page
formatting for the various text files that you normally print. For
example, if you are a programmer you can save a configuration for
printing your source code two-up on a page. To save on the amount of
paper used, CodePrint has a duplex printing option that allows
printing on both sides of the paper. CodePrint features include:
* Portrait or landscape paper orientation
* Multiple columns
* Headers and footers that you define including filename, date
and page number
* Change font, style and size
* Include border and column dividers
* Change left, top, right and bottom margins
* Change number of spaces used to expand tabs
* Automatic wrapping of text wider than column
* Option to truncate lines at the right margin
* Option to include line numbers
* Open and save page configurations
* Compatible with Windows 3.1 Drag-and-Drop feature
* Duplex printing option - print on both sides of the paper
CodePrint is NOT compatible with Windows 3.0 or earlier versions.
