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.
