CHANGES SINCE VERSION 1.0
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
If this is your first version of this product, you can skip to the next
section. Version 1.1 changes three things from version 1.0.

1. A title, representing the name of the .XIC file is now printed at the
top of the page in the chosen font.

2. The 'ID' menu bar has been changed to 'GDOS ID' and if you are using FSM
or FONTGDOS, the menu bar will show the name of the printer, not just the
ID number.

3. A bug which could have caused icon titles with mixed up fonts has been
removed.

INTRODUCTION
>>>>>>>>>>>>
I introduced the .XIC format not too long ago primarily to support another
commercial product of mine, the Newdesk Icon Editor V2.0. I had originally
considered adding a print option but the CPX was already 112k and I knew a
print option as implemented here would add another 30k at least.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
.XIC Print will run on any Atari computer and monitor configuration. GDOS
1.1, G+ Plus, FONTGDOS, or FSM GDOS is required in addition to a font
capable of 8 point printing. FSM GDOS is best suited to this task.  You
should run .XIC print in ST Medium, ST High, TT Medium, TT High, or another
resolution capable of displaying more than 440 pixels across.

USING GDOS
>>>>>>>>>>
Before using this application you should have a working knowledge of the
GDOS you are using. Refer to your instruction manual for more details.

INSTALLATION & USAGE
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Simply copy the files XICPRINT.PRG and XICPRINT.RSC to a directory on your
hard drive (or leave 'em on your floppy - Yecch!). Double-click on
XICPRINT.PRG to start.

Program credits may be obtained by clicking on the menu option About XIC
Print...

To begin select the GDOS printer ID of the printer you're trying to access
under the 'ID' menu. This should correspond to the printer's id in your
ASSIGN.SYS menu. If you are using FSM/FONT GDOS the program will attempt
to fill in the title with your printers' name. Device 21 or the top menu
line will always represent the printer selected with the Printer Selector
CPX.

After choosing your printer ID the font menu heading will be updated with
up to 15 fonts capable of printing at 8 point. Select the font you desire
before continuing.

Now, to print your icons, select 'Print' under the 'File' menu heading and
a file selector will appear. You may choose any compatible .XIC V1.0 file.
The program will proceed to print all 32x32 icons contained in the file
with their titles. (.XIC files are capable of containing more than just
32x32 icons).

If at any time you wish to abort you may use the UNDO key to stop printing
after the current page has finished.

WHAT'S COMING
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I will eventually update this program to function as a .GTP (GEM takes
parameters) to take advantage of TOS 2.05 and above. I also thought about
correctly reflecting the color of icons on a color printer. In addition, at
some point in time it will be able to handle icon files with more than just
the 32x32 size.
