Submitted by: Harold Bencowitz, Beaumont, TX
 
Operating System: RT-11 V5.3, TSX-PLUS V6.20  Source Language: C
Hardware Required: VT100, VT200 or VT300 compatible terminals and
LA100 or LA210 compatible printers
 
Abstract: LA210/LA100 is an interactive program to change the setup
parameters of the LA100 and LA210 printers.  It has been
tested on RT-11 V5.3 and TSX-PLUS V6.20.  A VT100 or VT200
series terminal is required.  The user chooses a set of
printer settings.  This set can then easily be altered.
Once the user is satisfied with the settings, they can be
sent either to the printer or to a disk file.  The user can
create several disk files each of which can be "printed" for
a different printer configuration,.  The settings last used
when the program terminates are stored and can be recalled
for editing and reuse.  The program also stores the device
name of the printer (changeable).  The source file can be
easily configured to build versions for the LA210 or the
LA100 (runable versions of each are included).  The
Whitesmith's C compiler and library are needed to build the
program from the sources.  Other needed libraries are
included.  The differences between the LA210 and LA100
versions, building instructions, and instructions for use of
the program are given at the beginning of the source code
file (LA210.C).
 
Also included is another program with versions for the
LA210, (SLA210) and LA100 (SLA100).  This program also
changes printer settings but is command line driven, rather
than menu driven, and is much less sophisticated in checking
entries than the other program.  It's document is also at
the beginning of the source code file (SLA210.C).
