Gooffy is a little program which prints ASCII text files like the
GEM desktop, but you can continue to use your computer even if you
are printing very long files.
It should work correctly on any ATARI ST/STE/TT/Falcon, but I only
have tested it on my Falcon....
How can I use Gooffy ?
It is very simple to use, but you can do it in 2 different ways.
1) As a simple APP/PRG application
Just clic on GOOFFY.APP and a file selector will appear so that you
can choose the file you want to print.
On recent TOS, you can drag the file you want to print on GOOFFY.APP
and it will be automaticly loaded and printed by Gooffy.
If you're using MultiTOS, you can replace the original printing program
LPR.APP by GOOFFY.APP. To do so replace the line:
setenv SHPRINT=C:\MULTITOS\LPR.APP by
setenv SHPRINT=C:\MULTITOS\GOOFFY.APP
in the file GEM.CNF (the example supposes that you have copied GOOFFY.APP
in the folder C:\MULTITOS\).
Gooffy has the particularity of not freezing all applications if the printer
is not ready (no paper or off line) like LPR.APP does...
2) As desk-accessory
Rename GOOFFY.APP as GOOFFY.ACC and copy it in the root of your boot
drive (usualy C:\ if you have a harddisk or A:\ if you don't).
To use it, just call the accessory by clicking on its name in the
first menu like any other accessory. The file selector will appear,
then just choose the file you want to print...
Using Gooffy as a desk-accessory will enable you to print files while
your're doing something else, and so even under non-multitasking AES.
Feel free to contact me for any suggestion or bug report.
That's all... I hope you'll find this program useful...
