                       -****>>> DDL>ALPH
A.V1 <<<****-.... THIS PROGRAM WAS WRITT
EN BY WAYNE SCHMIDT FOR THE CONVERSION O
F HIRES DOODLE..FILES($5C00-$7FFF) INTO 
ALPHANUMERIC TEXT FILES WHICH CAN BE PRI
NTED ON ANY..PRINTER, INCLUDING DAISYWHE
ELS! THE CONVERSION INVOLVES A 4-TO-1 RE
DUCTION..WITH 16 VALUES REPRESENTING THE
 AVERAGED DENSITIES. THERE IS AN ACCOMPA
NYING..SCREEN DISPLAY ANALOGOUS TO THE S
EQ FILE BEING WRITTEN TO THE DISK (AS TH
E..CONVERSION TAKES PLACE). IT YIELDS A 
16 BLK SEQ FILE, NAMED WITH THE FIRST 3.
.CHAR.(FOLLOWING 'DD') & AN ADDED SUFFIX
 '.ALF'. INCLUDE 'DD' WITH THE PROMPT..F
OR FILENAME. WHEN THE SCREEN DISPLAY IS 
COMPLETE (AND THE DISK LIGHT OUT) ANY..K
EY WILL RETURN YOU TO 'READY'. I FIND TH
AT THE BEST PROPORTIONS ARE OBTAINED..BY
 SETTING THE PRINTER TO 12 PITCH (12CPI)
 WITH 7/72" (14/144) LINESPACING...ON TH
E STAR GEMINI/DELTA 10 (EPSON-COMPATIBLE
S) WITH MW-350 (OR EASYPRINT)..INTERFACE
, I TURN OFF THE 'WRAP-AROUND' (FORCED 8
0-COL EMULATION OF THE 1525../RIGHT MARG
IN) WITH OPEN 4,4:PRINT#4,CHR$(27)"R"CHR
$(0):CLOSE 4. THEN, USING..TRANSPARENT S
ECONDARY ADDRESS OF '5' (SAME AS CARDCO 
STANDARD),  OPEN 4,4,5:..PRINT#4,CHR$(27
)"B"CHR$(2);CHR$(27)"1":PRINT#4,CHR$(27)
"M"CHR$(8):CLOSE 4...THIS SETS: 12 PITCH
, 7/72" LINESPACE, AND 8 CHAR. LEFT MARG
IN (TO CENTER)...EQUIVALENT ON A OKI 92 
WITH MW-350: TURN OFF 'WRAP-AROUND', THE
N OPEN 4,4,5:..PRINT#4,CHR$(28):PRINT#4,
CHR$(27)"%9"CHR$(14):PRINT#4,CHR$(27)"%C

 YOU CAN USE ANY WORDPROCESSOR (SUPPORTI
NG SEQ) OR..SEQUENTIAL FILE PRINTER. IT 
IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU ADDRESS THE PRIN
TER IN..TRANSPARENT MODE AND OUPUT AS AS
CII TEXT (THE NATURE OF THE FILE). I HAV
E..UPLOADED A PRG THAT SPECIFICALLY SUPP
ORTS THE PRINTOUT ON GEMINI/EPSON IN..12
 PITCH AND ADDITIONALLY 12 PITCH 'SUPERS
CRIPT' (WITH LINESPACING HANDLED)..AND A
NOTHER THAT SPECIFICALLY SUPPORTS THE PR
INTOUT ON AN OKIDATA 92 WITH..12 PITCH E
NHANCED.      .WAYNE SCHMIDT............
