NEW! NEW! NEW! 2MENU NEW! NEW! NEW!


2MENU is a 2COL and JETCOL interface for use with Microsoft Windows 3.1 or
higher.

It combines the easy to use Windows interface with the speed of DOS text mode
printing.

2MENU allows you to:

View, set, and save an unlimited number of printing option profiles.

Select files to print from a menu

Drag and drop files to print from File Manager

View/edit files before printing

Built in editor allows file portions to be modified or deleted before
printing. A large number of excerpts can be built up on the clipboard before
printing. This saves printing unnecessary text.

Editor window wraps automatically to reflect column width print setting.

Import text for printing from other applications via the clipboard.

Print directly from clipboard or edit/excerpt clipboard before printing.

Print in background while viewing/editing another file or using another program.

This is not a stand alone program. It requires registered 2COL or JETCOL.

Price: $15+$3S&H. ($12 when ordered with 2COL/JETCOL) Compuserve: SWREG-1971
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2COL

2COL prints two columns, each 80 characters wide, on a standard sheet of paper.
Most dot-matrix and DeskJet printers are supported. By suppressing unnecessary
blank lines and ignoring page breaks, 2COL is able to use a larger font while
averageing approximately 4 pages on one side of a sheet as other compressed
print programs. By using standard draft mode, 2COL prints faster and more
readably than other programs which rely on subscript or graphics mode.

2COL is ideal for printing reference material (such as shareware manuals) and
word processing drafts. It saves paper and storage space. By putting more
information on less paper, 2COL saves you money when faxing or mailing.

2COL will optionally print in subscript mode, putting almost 8 pages on one side
of a sheet of paper. By using 2COL's two-sided printing option, almost 16 pages
of information can be printed on a single sheet of paper.

Comes with Windows PIF to allow background printing similar to Print Manager.
Drag and drop files onto 2COL using File Manager

The program has been designed to be easy to use, even for the novice. It comes
with a demo/tutorial which demonstrates most of the printing options and shows
how to use them.

NEW FEATURES:
Wordwrapping and filtering functions have been added for printing wordprocessor
formats (such as .WRI, Word, Wordstar, and WP Generic documents).

Now also reformats to widen or shrink document width. Particularly useful for 17
char/inch printers or for people who have trouble reading 20 char/inch print.

Prints pages in reverse order to eliminate paper shuffling with sheet feed
printers: Deskjets, Inkjets..etc. Particularly useful when printing on both
sides

Macros available for printing directly from WordPerfect and WFW ($3 each).

Automatically adjusts line spacing to eliminate partly filled last pages.


OPTIONS:
* the number of lines/page to print
* the maximum number of consecutive blank lines to allow
* the column width
* whether to pause for single sheet feeding
* numbering each source and/or output page
* enable IBM graphics characters(dot matrix only)
* top margin, left margin settings
* print only odd/even pages - for two-sided printing
* to display total number of output pages before printing.
* to prescan the document and automatically optimize margins
* whether to automatically adjust line spacing to fill or
eliminate partial pages at end
* adjustment for non-standard page length: A4, legal, etc.

Hardware requirements: IBM compatible computer, 256K RAM, dot matrix
or DeskJet printer. While 2COL will run on 17 cpi printers, a
printer capable of 20 char/inch is best. For Epson FX,LQ,LX and many
IBM compatible dot matrix printers. All DeskJet models supported.

Other requirements: MS-DOS 3 or higher.

Price: $22.95 + $5 S&H (if an update disk is requested) Compuserve SWREG-1183

JETCOL

Features are essentially the same as for 2COL above except that JETCOL is
intended for all HP compatible laser printers.

JETCOL includes 10 specially designed soft fonts in graduated sizes which are
automatically selected according to the amount of compression desired.

The font pitch is automatically adjusted for maximum readability according to
the column width chosen.

A complete set of thin fonts is avaialable for $10.
A complete set of European accented fonts is also available for $10.

Price $32.95 + $3 S&H (if an update disk is requested). Compuserve SWREG-1196

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. 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/
