TypeWrite! V1.4 (c) 1987 Dalsoft Jeff Wolfe
TypeWrite! was written to fulfill a need that I'm sure a lot of
others have as well. Sure I could use Microsoft Word (TM) to type 2
mailing labels, But that's quite a project . So evolved TypeWrite I've
added some features to it that I think are useful. If you have any
suggestions, PLEASE let me know as I can't possibly think of everything.
Now for some Demos.
TypeWrite! can be used 2 ways :
First is a Line By Line entry mode, This works on the principal that one
likes to check what he types before he prints it.. Here is an Example
A:>TYPE! /L
*** Line at a time entry mode. Type <*Q*> to end.
(The "?" is the prompt used to ask the user for a line)
?Jeff Wolfe
(Printer Prints "Jeff Wolfe")
?114 Lake St.
(Printer prints "114 Lake St.")
?Dalton, Pa. 18414
(Printer Prints "Dalton, Pa. 18414"
?*Q*
(Program Ends)
A:>
That's all there is to it. No more No Less
Lets Take a look at Single char. Entry Mode
A:>Type! /S
*** Character at a time entry mode. Press
(You Must type each character by itself and the program will send it to
the printer as it is typed

Yes! I'll Customize your copy of TypeWrite to add the

following feature.....
A:>Type! /s 1
This will tell typewrite to send control strings associated to #1 to the
printer before starting typing. Use the form at the END of this
documentation to get your copy.
There are 3 Demo macros installed ... There is a list at the end of the
next page
Lastly ... a New feature (To this Version) is the support of decimal
#s. The program asks you for any decimal strings you want to send to the
printer simply by pressing <*D*> in Line by Line or
character mode. after you finish your entry press

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
