View Printer Drivers to Write to Disc

The View word processor has a flexible interface between the
document in the computer memory and the printer to receive the
printed text.  This interface is provided by the printer driver
which is a machine code program.  It is loaded from disc with
the command "printer filename", where 'filename' is the name
of the machine code file.  The printer driver translates the View
highlight codes into the appropriate printer commands to achive
such effects as underline, bold, superscript etc.  The same View
text can therefore be printed on any one of a wide variety of
printers such as dot matrix, daisywheel or lasers without having
to make any changes to the original text.  These same printer
drivers can be used for printing output from Viewsheet and
Viewstore.

Two printer drivers are provided, STRIP and SPOOL, and are for
writing View text to a disc file instead of to a printer.  At
first sight it might seem that they duplicate the action of the
*SPOOL command but there are important differences.  STRIP is the
more complex of the two and will be described first.

STRIP can be used to generate an ASCII file of the View text on
disc which can then be read into another word processor.  The
receiving processor can be Wordwise or Interword, for example, on
the Beeb, or the disc file can be transferred to an PC/MSDOS disc
for reading into a wordprocessor on the IBM PC.

The STRIP printer driver produces a disc file which differs from
the *SPOOL method in four important respects:-

�.........*..>......*........................................*.......<
	1.Only the text is sent to the disc file.  *SPOOL, by
comparison, sends everything that is printed to the
screen including the words "*SPOOL" and the View command
screen header.  Moreover, using View 3 the text can be
filed without pagebreaks by using the embedded command
"PB OFF" at the top of the View document.

	2.All View highlight codes are stripped from the text. 
Therefore, the View codes will not confuse the receiving
processor.  This does mean, however, that the codes to
produce printer effects need to be reinserted on the
receiving processor.

	3.The left margin is removed.  This stops the margin from
the View document appearing to the receiving processor as
a sequence of typed spaces at the beginning of each line. 
If the text should be reformatted on the receiving
processor, then any margin would be redistributed as
large gaps throughout the text.

Margins are not normally typed in on a wordprocessor but
are generated at the time of printing.

	4.All carriage returns occurring within paragraphs are
replaced by spaces.  Two, or more, carriage returns at
the end of paragraphs are sent as normal. 

�.........*.........*........................................*.......<
Action number 4 requires some explanation.  Most word processors
distinguish between what are called "hard returns" and "soft
returns".  A hard return is generated when the user presses the
RETURN key.  This might be at the end of a paragraph or at the end
of each line of data in a table.  A soft return is generated by the
processor itself at the end of each line of text within a 
paragraph.  The processor can distinguish between hard and soft
returns and will move soft returns around should the text be
reformatted.  Hard returns will remain untouched by reformatting.

View, however, is slightly different.  In View, all returns are
stored as the same character (&0D).  Hard and soft returns are
distinguished by the character following the return in the text.  A
single return followed by a normal text character, which is not a
space, is treated as soft.  Single returns are generated by View at
the end of lines in paragraphs.  Pressing RETURN twice at the end
of a paragraph closes the paragraph and misses a line.  View will
not move two or more returns which occur together.  Two, or more,
returns, therefore, are treated as hard returns and will not be
moved.  When typing tables into View, the single returns typed at
the end of each line must be protected from being reformatted by
deleting the right margin marker from the ruler at the top of the
table.  

When View text is sent to disc by *SPOOL all returns are filed. 
When this file is read into the word processor to receive the text,
all returns will be treated as hard.  Therefore, the received View
text appears as a long table with a hard return at the end of each
line.  This text is very difficult to reformat. 

The printer driver STRIP overcomes this problem by replacing single
returns by a space.  Two or more returns are filed as normal. 
Paragraphs, therefore, are filed as a single, long line of text
which is easily reformatted by the receiving processor. 

There is one problem.  Tables of data, and sequences of single line
entries such as addresses are also filed as one long line of text. 
These need to be reformatted on the receiving processor by
inserting hard returns at the appropriate points.

Should you read text back to View after it has been filed using
STRIP, you will find that View has not formatted the text as it was
read in - another difference between View and other word
processors.  The margins given by the ruler will have been ignored
and each line of text will be the maximum of 132 characters.  A
consequence of this that single returns will have been inserted by
View every 132 characters even if this splits a word.  On
reformatting the text using <f0> the text will have some words
split by spaces.  Therefore, don't use STRIP if the text is to be
read back into View.  Use the printer driver SPOOL instead.  



The printer driver SPOOL is similar to STRIP with the exception
that all returns are left intact.  This printer driver is useful
for use with Viewsheet and Viewstore to write disc files to be read
into View.

A final note on transporting files to discs for the IBM PC.  Low
cost commercial software is now available to read and write MSDOS
discs on BBC computers equipped with 1770 disc controllers, e.g. the
Master 128, B+ and any Model B with a 1770 interface.  For further
information consult your local dealer or the computing press.
