Desqview Printer Control v1.0
Copyright (c) 1987 by CFS Development

Functions : Desqview Printer Control (DPC) provides a
more convenient way to access the printer's functions in a
multitasking environment.

version of either PC-DOS or MS-DOS and any of the following
multitasking "shells"; APX Core, Concurrent Dos, Desqview,
Double DOS, EZDosIt, Microsoft Windows, MultiLink, Taskview,
Topview, and others. DPC will only support IBM and Epson
compatible printers at this time.

DPC : DPC is a utility designed to run as a
task under any one of the mentioned "shells" making best use
of the processing time that is available. It will only use
the time "slices" that it needs to perform its tasks, any
remaining time "slices" will be donated back to the main
processing cycle.

Installation: Copy DPC.COM into your application
directory and define it as an application under your
multitasking "shell". The installation process will differ
from each multitasking "shell" that is used. The display
dimensions required by DPC are 48 characters by 19 lines
(48 X 19).

Usage : The program will display a menu of
printer options with a corresponding number as a prefix. To
