DOWN.I and CONFIG.DOWN are Apple II ProDOS 8 machine language programs
which allows the user to take Apple IIGS fonts, and convert them into the
format for the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet IIP and downloads them.
This program can be used on any Apple II except an Apple IIGS. For the
Apple IIGS you must use an NDA, from Raptor, Inc. called HP Downloader,
which has also been released as freeware. This program and the NDA are
virtually identical. They both convert the fonts and down load them and
create exactly the same type of binary files. The differences are due
only to the type of Apple II computer used.
This program _may_ also be capable of downloading Apple IIgs fonts to a
Hewlett-Packard LaserJet III, other HP printes and laser printers which
emulate the HP LaserJet IIP. However this program WAS NOT TESTED ON ANY
OTHER PRINTER and, therefore, use with any other printer other than the
Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet IIP is done so at the user's risk.
WHAT ELSE YOU'LL NEED
In addition to the files DOWN.I and CONFIG.DOWN you will also need two
files from a Beagle Bros program called TRIPLE DUMP: "Interface.List" and
"I.Drivers".
TRIPLE DUMP is a graphics printing program for the Apple II+, IIe and IIc.
The two files are needed from it because they provide the codes and
procedures for just about every interface card that can be used on an
Apple II.
Triple Dump has been released as freeware by Beagle.Bros and may be
available from the same source where you got this program. If not, the
major Apple II ftp sites such as Delphi and Ground should have this
program available in their files.
Documentation for use with this program are included in the archive.
Now released as freeware by John Majka of Raptor, Inc via The Lost
Classics project. Please see the FREEWARE.NOTICE included in the archive.
