XBanner Maker for VMS
XVersion 2.1
XAugust 10, 1989
X
XCopyright (c) 1989
Xby Zack C. Sessions
X
XNOTE: This release fixes the "multiple symbol definition" for
XABORT with V3.0 of VAX C.
X
X
XYou have gotten youself one fine program, now!! I originally
Xwrote Banner Maker for my CoCo 3 (Color Computer 3) under the
XOS9 Level 2 Operating System. Since I wrote it in C using fairly
Xtransportable code, it easily ported  over to VMS. In the original
Xdesign for my CoCo, I used an external binary file to define the
X"font" or design of each character in it's character set. I also
Xhad an index file which had a pointer into the font file for each
Xcharacter.
X
XIn my original port to VMS, I maintained it's design respective
Xto the external font and index file. I had numerous requests
Xfrom other VMS users through the Internet VMS Newsgroup, and since
Xthe most popular method of posting stuff was using VMS_SHARE,
XI had a problem with the binary format of the font file.
X
XSo I went back to work on it. I wrote a quickie which read in the
Xbinary font file and wrote out a an ASCII file which defined the
Xconstants for a superhuge character string array. Then after a
Xfew hours of editing and testing, I was satisfied.
X
XSo this version does require a C compiler, I used the DEC VAX-C
XCompiler, Version 2.3 and VMS Version 5.0-2. On my 8300 it
Xtakes almost 4 minutes just to compile the program! Just a standard
Xcompile ane link should do it.
X
X$ cc banner.c
X$ link banner,sys$input:/opt
Xsys$share:vaxcrtl/share
X`094Z
X
Xps, make sure the include file, stdfnt.h is in your current default
Xdirectory to compile it.
X
XDue to the design of this font, the banners look much better when
Xprinted at 12 Lines Per Inch Vertically and 16.7 Characters Per Inch
XHorizontally. The program as is automatically includes the escape
Xsequences in the banner file to set these characteristics and then
Xto reset them at the end to 6 Lines Per Inch and 10 Characters Per
XInch. These escape sequences work ONLY with a GE GENICOM printer.
XTo support your printer, modify the definition of the variables,
X"norm" and "cond" appropriately.
X
XOh, yes, if you study the program and the stdfnt.h file, you will
Xsee that it uses a very simple algorithm, and you can design your
Xown fonts with just a little work. The hardest part is designing
Xthe characters. Then transcribe them into the fnt character string.
XRe-compile the program with you include file and there you have it.
X
XHave fun!
