PrintIt! V1.2
-------------

PrintIt! is a utility that allows you to view and print text files.  Its
primary audience is programmers and other professionals that have frequent
need to use text files under Windows.

With PrintIt! you may view multiple files at the same time or print text
files in a variety of modes.

PrintIt! was written to enable you to print text files speedily and
economically without too much paper.  PrintIt! prints files in terms of
logical pages; you can instruct PrintIt! to print several logical pages
on a physical page.

Using PrintIt! you can print one, two or four logical pages per physical
page in either landscape or portrait mode.  Two up mode is best for printing
source files for review or documentation.  Four up mode is useful to view
large files quickly.

Change History
--------------

V1.2 (1/25/93)
	- Problems printing with Postscript printers.  Neither
	  Print Setup... or Print... dialog boxes appear when
	  corresponding menu commands selected.

		Fixed; method of obtaining printer device mode
		       structure changed to avoid 'missing device'
		       error.

	- Selecting font sizes smaller than 7 pt caused PrintIt!
	  to succesively reduce the point size by 1 on every 
	  subsequent invocation of the Format|Font menu item.

		Fixed; incorrectly translated point size after
		       Font selection.

	- When using 'Terminal' font, Format|Font must be selected
	  after PrintIt! starts before font is correctly displayed.

		Defer; due to PrintIt! storing only partial font
		       information in it's profile file.  Will be
		       fixed in release 2.1.

V1.1 (1/18/93)

	- Selecting certain printers as default printer would cause
	  PrintIt! to abort during startup with a "Square root of -1"
	  error message.

		Fixed; defective printer driver over writes certain
		       input only parameters causing later divide
		       by zero condition.

	- Selecting certain printers as default printer would prevent
	  PrintIt! from displaying Printer Setup... or Print...
	  dialog boxes.

		Fixed; certain drivers require more memory to be
		       allocated for internal data structures than
		       PrintIt! V1.0 allocated.

V1.0	- Initial release
