          WorkBench Usage : Click on the BookPrint Tool icon,
          then Shift double-Click on your text file's icon.

          CLI Usage : BookPrint3 <ASCII file> [length]


       In MD22, Donna Pinnell asks, "Is there a program out there somewhere
   ...  that allows you to print every other page on continuous feed paper,
   then re-insert it and print every second page on the back of the first i.e.
   in book form?".  Enter BookPrint3 !

       BookPrint3 splits an ASCII file, making two files of odd & even pages.
   It uses the Paper Length from Preferences to determine the total number of
   lines per page but will change sides prematurely if it finds any embedded
   FormFeeds (the NewPage character, ^L , char 12).  The files generated are
   given extensions of '.odd' and '.even'; icons are generated if run via
   WorkBench.  From the CLI, a valid length value will override the current
   Preferences printer setting.

       A simple usage message is provided when called in either environment
   with no file name or the customary '?' in CLI.  BookPrint3 works on plain
   ASCII text only, normal Escape sequences are ok but I can guarantee strange
   effects if used on anything else, e.g.  WordProcessor IFF files.

       BookPrint3 is very fast because it holds everything in memory, using a
   little over 3 times the source file size.  If this is a problem for you let
   me know.  It was written in SAS/C 5.10a, optimized for all processors (yes,
   even your '040, Nic!) on an Amiga 2000 with 25MHz 2630.  It has been
   rigorously tested but all the usual disclaimers apply.

       This program may be freely distributed, provided it is accompanied by
   this documentation, intact.

       BookPrint3 is GiftWare, please send comments, suggestions, bug reports,
   blank disks, 24 bit video boards :-) etc.,
