	 The QSYS documentation is provided in several files. This may seem
    a bit strange at first, but really, there's a very good reason. Most
    printers available for personal computers are not designed to withstand
    continuous duty. I found this to be true with my own printer. It seems
    that the heat associated with extremely lengthy print jobs has a very
    adverse effect on printheads. For this reason, I thought it appropriate
    to provide the documentation file in the form of several smaller files.
    There is also a provision for combining the files into one large file,
    or to print all of the smaller files at once, for those of you who feel
    that your printer is up the task. If in doubt, assume that your printer
    is only as good as mine was.
	 Regardless of which of the following methods you decide to use for
    printing the documentation, a few things are assumed. Each page of the
    documentation is 66 lines long. This means that on standard 8.5" x 11"
    forms, at 6 lines/inch, each page will finish at top-of-form, it it
    started at top-of-form. The documentation files all have an extension
    of '.DOC ', and are on the QSYS DOCUMENTATION diskette in the order in
    which they should be printed and assembled.


    - Light-Duty Printers:

	 Use the 'COPY ' command to print each '.DOC ' file. For example,
    the command 'COPY Q_TITLE.DOC LPT1: ', would print the first file to a
    printer connected to the first parallel port.
	 The 'PRINT ' command could also be used, but since the spooler
    outputs a top-of-form at the end of each file, a blank page would be
    ejected after each file that was printed.


    - Continuous-Duty Printers

	 A batch file named 'MAKEDOC.BAT ' is provided for combining the
    documentation files, or for printing all of the files at once. This
    batch file uses two parameters. The first parameter tells MAKEDOC where
    the QSYS documentation files can be found, and the second parameter
    tells MAKEDOC where to output them. Enter the command in the following
    format.

	 d:MAKEDOC parm1 parm2

	 d: - The drive in which QSYS DOCUMENTATION is inserted, if not the
	      default drive.
      parm1 - The drive in which QSYS DOCUMENTATION is inserted. Must be
	      specified if not the default drive, or if parm2 is specified.
      parm2 - The output device or file specification to which the combined
	      QSYS documentation files will be copied. Any valid device
	      name, such as 'LPT1: ' or 'COM1: ' may be specified. May also
	      be a file specification, including drive, path, and filename.
	      This parameter defaults to 'd:QSYS.DOC ' if omitted.

    For example, 'B:MAKEDOC B: LPT1: ' invokes MAKEDOC from drive B:, and
    copies all of the QSYS documentation files from drive B: to the device
    connected to the first parallel port. The command 'MAKEDOC ' without
    any parameters assumes that QSYS DOCUMENTATION is in the default drive,
    and copies all of the documentation files to a file named 'QSYS.DOC '
    on the QSYS DOCUMENTATION diskette. The latter example would be most
    useful for printing the documentation file using the 'PRINT ' command.
