This utility may be used to print drawing files directly from an AMOS
command prompt. It may be run on a non-graphics terminal but
requires a minimum of 300K memory partition.
Using this utility allows the user to print out an existing drawing
without having to go into Alpha Draw. The printer name, graphics
device driver, title header block, and background color options may
be selected with a simple command format line.
If no printer name or graphics device driver name is specified the
default values will be obtained from the Alpha Draw .INI configur-
ation file (ALDRAW.INI.)
ALDPRT may be run in the background by specifying the /S option
switch on the command line. This option suppresses all terminal
output messages.
If only a print file is desired (i.e. No actual printing to occur),
then the printer name may be entered as "NOPRIN" which signals ALDPRT
to create a print file but not spool it to a printer.
/S Suppress terminal messages
/T Draw a title header block
/G= Graphics device driver name (i.e. LASWRT)
/B[=cc]
Enable background color printing with an optional
color override of color # cc
/A Append output to existing print file
/P= Select and print the specified page only
Examples: .ALDPRT COMIC Print drawing COMIC on
default printer
.ALDPRT LASER=CLOWN Print drawing CLOWN on
printer LASER
.ALDPRT SHOWOF/S Print drawing SHOWOF
with messages suppressed

ALDUTL - General Drawing Utility
________________________________
This program is a general purpose utility that will be enhanced in
the future. Currently there are only two functions it can perform.
One is to produce a directory listing of drawings that contain
external imported graphs. The second is to change the color of an
entire drawing.
