Howtheprogram works

This program beginsby assigning anumber of printer commands to

BASIC string variables (lines 1000to 1090).Youcan find most ofthese

commandsnear the beginning ofAppendix B.

The WIDTH “LPT1:” 255 statement in line lllOmeansintinite line

width. It prevents the IBM-PC from inserting unwanted carriage returns

and linefeeds in graphics data.

Actual printing beginsin line 1120.Using the preassigned commands,

the program prints samples of its different type styles, including aline

showingall styles in italics, followedby samples of the print pitches, then

somedouble and quadruple-sized printing.

Next comesthe central attraction oftheprogram: aline oftext printed

twenty times in expanding and contracting loops to give abarrel effect.

Thework isdone by four printer commands:acommand setting the right

margin (line 1400);acentering command (line 1420);acommand to vary

the linespacing (lines 1440and1490); and acommand to micro-adjust the

spacebetween characters (lines 1450 and 1500).
