NUp031_txt

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Minimum requirements
======= ============

Requires Acorn Toolbox modules:

  DrawFile   1.01
  Toolbox    1.23
  Window     1.15
  Menu       0.15
  Iconbar    1.08
  ProgInfo   0.05
  Scale      0.03
  PrintDbox  0.03

Requires !ChangeFSI for import of alien bitmaps.

NUp should run on a 1 MB machine, with RISC OS 3.1 or later. NUp itself takes
48 kB of memory. The toolbox modules are quite big though. You will need
enough free memory in addition to allow for the size of your drawfiles.

Description
===========

NUp stands for N-Up printing. It is a utility application that allows several
drawfiles to be printed on a single page. Some other file types are supported
by means of "helper" programs that convert bitmaps, text, etc, to drawfiles.

Configuration options change the page layout and control automatic printing
and flushing of pages.

From version 0.31 whole directories may be dragged on to NUp. They will be
scanned (recursively) for files with supported file types.

See !NUp.!Help for more information.
