How the program works

This program begins by assigning a number of printer commands to BASIC string variables (lines 1000 to 1090). You can find most of these commands near the beginning of Appendix B.

The WIDTH “LPTl:” 255 statement in line 1110 means infinite line width. It prevents the IBM-PC from inserting unwanted carriage returns and line feeds in graphics data.
