DDOC Print and Preview
32-bit, thread-safe, ddoc Print and Preview Engine. With about 200k of overhead and run-time requirements, this small package gives the windows programmer a very easy to use print and/or preview API. It's callable from any 16 or 32-bit program, and can be used to create professional output on either the screen or the printer. Use the same code to both print and preview any document; just set one flag letting the engine know whether you want to print or preview. Preview documents can be manually or programmatically emailed to recipients via SMTP or MAPI - the end user receives a viewable, printable, formatted preview screen with no run-time installation required. $25.00 - PB/DLL source code included.

DOSPRINT
Seamless, "printer independent" printing for DOS applications. Launched via the SHELL statement. DOSPRINT lets you print from a DOS application to any Windows supported printer, including Windows-Only and GDI printers. Change fonts, style (bold, italic, outline, etc) using a single set of standard Epson control codes - no other printer languages are required to print regardless of the type of printer - DOSPRINT handles the translations automatically. DOSPRINT can work with parallel, serial, USB, and network printers. Optional Print Preview window, automatic form feed handling and more. Requires Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000. $99.00

DLLPRINT
A compact 32-bit standard DLL for use with PB/CC and PB/DLL. Print from your Windows applications without learning the API printing. DLLPRINT can be useful for porting DOS applications over to Windows too. Write your DOS applications to use DOSPRINT, and the print file generation code translates easily in the Windows environment - no major rewrite to implement printing. DLLPRINT's features are otherwise identical to that of DOSPRINT. Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000. $99.00

DLLPRINT and DOSPRINT Bundle
get both DOS and Windows versions for $195.00
