        PRT-Menu (C) 1993:  PRT-Menu is a printer menu program which allows
        you to access various features of your printer:

                                Color Selection,
                                Character Font,
                                Character Highlight,
                                Character Pitch,
                                Word Processing,
                                Paper Feed,
                                Paper Feed (amount),
                                Page Format,

        through software control rather than a printer operator panel.

	Your printer is driven by "escape sequences" and control codes 
        consisting of different ASCII characters.  One way to control
        your printer is using a batch file or language program to issue
        these commands.  PRT-Menu eliminates the need for such programs
        and provides a fast and convenient way of interfacing you with
        your printer.

        PRT-Menu makes it easy for you to combine character fonts with
        various character pitches and character highlights; set your
        margins and page length, while integrating the word processing
        functions.  If you use a text editor, you will appreciate the
        "text and formatting" finish you can add to your documents.

        Using PRT-Menu, you can set the margins, page length, and fonts
        for mailing labels without using special label software.

        It is quick and easy to run the PRT-Menu; select the features you
        want your printer to initialize; exit the program and print your
        document, labels etc.

        Virtually any Epson Compatible Printer can use PRT-Menu.  In
        particular, the Panasonic (KXP Series), and all Epson LQ-860
        Compatibles, as well as other compatibles.

        PRT-Menu has the following requirements:

                  .  IBM PC, XT, AT or 100% compatible                                                       computer
                  .  DOS 2.0+ or later
                  .  Microsoft Compatible Mouse
                  .  VGA and color monitor
                  .  Epson Compatible Dot Matrix Printer

     INSTALLATION

        For hard drive users, either copy all the files from the
        PRT-Menu Disk to any directory on your hard drive, or create
        a directory named PRT-MENU as follows:

                           C:\>MD PRT-MENU
                           C:\>COPY A:*.* \PRT-MENU

        All files must be located in the same directory.  The directory
        should be included in the PATH Statement of your AUTOEXEC.BAT
        File.  This allows you to run PRT-Menu from any directory on
        your hard disk.  Refer to your DOS manual for details on the
        PATH Statement.  Floppy drive users can execute the program
        from the PRT-Menu Diskette.
