PRINTE.TE IS A TWO-PASS TECO MACRO.

ON PASS 1, A BATCH JOB IS CREATED (PRINTE.BI) WHICH WILL MAKE A PSEUDO-
DIRECTORY (PRINTE.DI) FROM THE TEXT ARGUEMENT OF THE ORIGINAL MUNG COMMAND
LINE. WILD-CARD CONVENTIONS, NOT AVAILABLE WITH THE NORMAL PRINT COMMAND,
ARE ALLOWED IN THIS ARGUEMENT AS ARE THE /C,/U, AND /V DIRECT SWITCHES.
THE BATCH JOB ALSO CONTAINS A SECOND CALL TO THE MACRO (PASS 2) AFTER
WHICH THE JOB WILL THEN SUBMIT ITSELF. AFTER THE FIRST PASS, THE MACRO
PROMPTS THE USER TO SET UP THE OUTPUT DEVICE (LPT) AND TO SUBMIT THE BATCH
JOB. THE MACRO THEN EXITS TO THE MONITOR.

ON PASS 2, PRINTE.BI IS RE-CREATED AS A PRINT JOB. THE PSEUDO-
DIRECTORY IS OPERATED ON TO SET UP THE PRINT COMMAND STRINGS SO THAT
WHEN PRINTE.BI SUBMITS ITSELF AFTER PASS 2, THE PRINT JOB IS THE ONE
THAT WILL RUN. THE ORIGINAL JOB SET UP IN PASS 1 IS DESTROYED.

FOR HELP IN USING THE MACRO, TYPE HELP PRINTE
