This program serves to print out texts or binary files in jinnee. 
For this, place the program as an icon on the desktop (it's best to 
assign it a printer icon).
When one drags a file onto the program icon, this file will be analysed 
and printed. If it is a binary file then it is sent to the printer 
unchanged. If it is an ASCII file, then one can have conversions 
performed first, such as, say, the German sz to a beta. For this the file 
PRINTER.INF has to be present in the same directory as the program. This 
is a normal ASCII file in which one can make an assignment in any line 
that has an 'A' prefix. One can also use Phoenix or Signum driver files, 
whose construction is compatible. The format is: A followed by the 
decimal ASCII value of the character, then a colon, then the ASCII value 
of the character to be substituted. There should be no spaces between the 
entries.

A158:225 ; Convert sz to beta
Comments start with a semicolon - anything following one will be ignored.

The following line defines the buffer size, in case one wants to take in 
and print large quantities in one go:
BUFFER:8196; Size of the buffer. This is the amount that will be sent to the printer before the next event.
GEMDOS:1;  If this entry is present, then printing will be via GEMDOS, 
           i.e. not byte by byte via the BIOS.

Printing via GDOS is not possible with this program.

The printer has to be switched on.
