..     THIS PROGRAM WILL READ YOUR DOCS.
FILES AT ML SPEED ON THE C128. IT WILL.W
ORK IN 40 COLUMN MODE OR 80 COLUMN.(FAST
) MODE. OR YOU MAY SEND YOUR TEXT.FILE T
O THE PRINTER...     IN EITHER 40 OR 80 
COLUMN SCREEN.READING MODE, THE PROGRAM 
COUNTS THE.CARRIAGE RETURNS, AND STOPS E
VERY 23.LINES, SO YOUR TEXT DOES NOT SCR
OLL OFF.THE SCREEN. YOU ARE THEN PROMPTE
D TO.PRESS F7 TO CONTINUE READING THE FI
LE,.OR YOU MAY PRESS F1 TO ABORT AND RET
URN.TO THE MENU. WHEN SENDING THE FILE T
O.EITHER THE PRINTER OR DISK, THERE IS N
O.OPTION TO ABORT UNTIL IT IS FINISHED..
.     IN ADDITION, THIS PROGRAM WILL.ALS
O TAKE A TEXT FILE FORMATTED FOR 40.COLU
MNS, AND PRINT IT OUT IN 80 COLUMNS.ON Y
OUR PRINTER (EXPAND TO PRINTER)..THIS HA
S LIMITATIONS, BECAUSE ALL THE.PROGRAM R
EALLY DOES IN THIS OPTION IS.IGNORE ALL 
LINEFEEDS, AND REPLACE EVERY.OTHER CARRI
AGE RETURN WITH A SPACE..STILL, IT BEATS
 HAVING TO COMPLETELY.REFORMAT A 40 COLU
MN TEXT FILE MANUALLY.WITH A WORD PROCES
SOR...     A 40 COLUMN FILE MAY ALSO BE.
EXPANDED BACK INTO AN 80 COLUMN DISK.FIL
E, TOO. THE OPERATION IS THE SAME.AS THE
 "EXPAND TO PRINTER" OPTION,.EXCEPT THAT
 OUTPUT IS TO THE DISK,.INSTEAD OF THE P
RINTER. IT WILL READ.THE OLD FILE, AND W
RITE AN IDENTICAL.80 COLUMN FILE BACK TO
 THE DISK. YOU.MUST HAVE ROOM ENOUGH ON 
THE DISK FOR.BOTH FILES IN ORDER FOR THI
S TO WORK...     IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT 
YOU READ.THE FILE ON THE SCREEN BEFORE Y
OU.SEND IT TO THE PRINTER. THIS WAY, YOU
.WILL BE ABLE TO TELL HOW IT IS HAS.BEEN
 FORMATTED, AND CAN CHOOSE THE.PROPER PR
INTOUT OPTION. YOU WOULD NOT.WANT TO "EX
PAND" A FILE THAT IS ALREADY.IN 80 COLUM
NS, FOR EXAMPLE!..     THIS PROGRAM USES
 AN ML SUBFILE.CALLED "READER.ML", AND T
HIS DOCS FILE.IS CALLED "READER.DOC", SO
 KEEP THEM.ALL TOGETHER IF YOU PUT THEM 
ON ANOTHER.DISK...E
