HARDCOPY SUBSYSTEMHardCopy is a program for automatically invoking the Bravo "hardcopy" command from theAlto executive. It also calls FTP if necessary to retrieve files from a shared file server such asMaxc or Ivy. It also prints press files by invoking Empress. This subsystem saves keystrokesand your concentration, but not clock time.How to use it...You can say to the Alto Executive:> HardCopy file-descriptor file-descriptor ...where a file-descriptor has the usual format:[host]fileName.extensionAll fields are optional, except fileName. If ".extension" is omitted, a default is taken from theuser.cm file. If "[host]" is omitted, HardCopy looks first on the local Alto disk; if the file isnot there, it takes a default remote host from the user.cm file. Once a "host" or "directory"appears on the command line, it remains in effect along the line until overriden by another.Version numbers and sub-directories can be used when contacting servers that supportthese features.For multiple copies, attach a switch to a file-descriptor; for example "HardCopysomeFile.bravo/3", produces three copies. The copy quantity remains in effect along thecommand line until overriden by another.Ordinarily, the printer used is the one appearing in user.cm. This can be overriden using the"p" switch. For example: "HardCopy Menlo/p [Iris]sub>someFile.bravo". The printerdesignation remains in effect along the command line until overriden by another.Press files are recognized by the extension "press", and are handed to Empress instead ofto Bravo. Ceretain other extensions (unformatted text files produced by commonly usedsubsystems) are treated in the same way; e.g., "typescript", "mail", and "tty".A temporary file HardCopy.scratch$ is created and deleted if a file is retrieved from a server.You need the proper fonts, and Bravo 6.0 or later. Name completion and "*" substitutionwork for local files only.How to obtain it...1.Using the FTP "load" command, fetch the file hardcopy.dm. This includes two files:HardCopy.run and UserCm.slice.2.UserCm.slice contains two parts: a Bravo H.INIT macro and a sample "HardCopy"section. Edit the first part into the bravo portion of your user.cm file. Make the secondthe "HardCopy" portion of user.cm, after replacing the host name and the extension withyour favorite ones (the extension must include the leading dot). Don't forget to"Bravo/I".!bpX ^= ]mZ [^ Zc+ W7qX Up"2R.
