Before compiling or assembling any of the programs,  the ASSIGN.COM in this
directory should be executed to assign the logical names used by the
compile and build command files.

Following are a brief description of programs submitted:

1. PRINTRON - a printronix raster convertor program which takes a file
   containing VT100 graphics character set (with embedded ^N and ^O's)
   and produce a file suitable for printing on the printronix (plot mode).
   Note that the line printer should be in printall mode.

	[.PRINTRON]
		PRINTRON.PAS	source
		PRINTRON.EXE	image
		PRINT.FNT	data file describing the font
		PRINTRASM.COM	assemble command file
		PRINTRBLD.COM	build command file

2. FONT - a program which aids in making alternate character set proms for
   the printronix which has the A-4 (12 sockets) board.  It uses the VT100
   attributes in helping to layout the font of the character.  Then it produces
   a ascii file (Intel format) which can be downloaded to a prom programmer
   (Data IO) to program the new character set proms.  It also has the ability
   to form fonts for a specific type of terminal (Direct 800's) which has
   downloadable font ability.

		FONTSUP.PAS	source
		DATAIO.PAS	source
		INTOASCII.PAS	source
		FONTASM.COM	assemble command file
		FONTBLD.COM	build command file

3. PASCAL RUNTIME ENHANCEMENTS - this is a set of runtime procedures which
   enhances PASCAL V1.3.  Among notable enhancements are the incorporation
   of index file support into the language (using the OPEN statement as a hook),
   , share file support (again using the OPEN statement), direct access
   simultaneous reads and writes to the same file without opening and
   closing the file multiple times (OPEN hook), and opening multiple files
   on the same PASCAL file variable (using the push - pop concept and the
   OPEN hook).  I have heard that V2.0 PASCAL is suppose to do some
   of these enhancements.

	[.PASCAL]
		PASOLBASM.COM	library assemble command file
		PASOLBLIB.COM	library build command file
		FIXIT.MAR	main source file
		FIXIT.MEM	documentation for enhancements

		 plus other sources and include files

4. ZEUS - a program which has the effect of lowering priorities of interactive
   cpu bound processes so that io bound processes (edt) can have some
   chances at the cpu.  This program is probably useful for you, if you have
   a very loaded system with several cpu bound job running on the system.
