% This file can be printed with 1, 2, or 3 columns per page (see below).
% [For 2 or 3 columns, you'll need 6 and 8 point fonts.]
% Specify how many you want here. Nothing else needs to be changed.
\columnsperpage=3
% There are a couple extra sections included at the end of the document
% (after the \bye) that didn't fit into six columns.
% It would be nice to have additional sections covering:
% \hrules and \vrules, Registers
% \input and \output files (including \read, \write, \message)
% This reference card is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
% but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
% MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
% This file is intended to be processed by plain TeX (TeX82).
%
% The final reference card has six columns, three on each side.
% This file can be used to produce it in any of three ways:
% 1 column per page
% produces six separate pages, each of which needs to be reduced to 80%.
% This gives the best resolution.
% 2 columns per page
% produces three already-reduced pages.
% You will still need to cut and paste.
% 3 columns per page
% produces two pages which must be printed sideways to make a
% ready-to-use 8.5 x 11 inch reference card.
% For this you need a dvi device driver that can print sideways.
% Which mode to use is controlled by setting \columnsperpage above.
