                         ***  THE LEGAL STUFF  ***

       Chemical Bank, New York, does  not, implicitly or explicitly, 
  warrant, support, endorse, or otherwise assume any liability
  whatsoever in the use of the PVT software.  


                           *** INFORMATION ***


       PVT is one of those command procedures that is very useful,
  but noone has the time to design and/or write.  With the PVT
  command procedure, one does not have to write from scratch, a way
  for a terminal to print files in their entireties.  PVT enables 
  users who have VT1xx or VT2xx terminals (or something that emulates 
  the VT's) with auxilary printer ports to print files neatly and 
  orderly.  If PVT is used to print several files, by using wildcards, 
  each file will start on a new page with a heading stating the file 
  name and the date/time.  PVT also displays, on the terminal screen, 
  the name of the file which is currently being printed on the printer.  
  PVT has been successful using a VT100, VT102, VT220, VT240, and Rainbow 
  with a LA50, LA100, LA12 (DECwriter Correspondent), and a LN03 
  (laser printer) under VMS 3.7 and VMS 4.1.
 
 



                      *** INSTRUCTIONS ***

  HOW TO USE PVT
  ==============
  To use PVT set up a permanent symbol as follows:
            PVT :== @pvt_device:[pvt_directory]PVT.COM
  where:
            pvt_device is the device where PVT resides
            pvt_directry is the directory for PVT
  
  To print a file type:
            PVT file_specification(s)
  

  EXAMPLES OF VALID SPECIFICATION(S)
  ==================================
  PVT SYS$LOGIN:LOGIN.COM
  PVT FILE.COM,*.COM;*
  PVT [...]*.BAS;2,[SMITH...]*.*.1,[000000...]*.LOG
  PVT F1,F2,F3, F4, F5,F6,F7

  

  NOTES
  =====
  1.  The file specification can have spaces separating the
      different filenames; however, there can be only ten (10)
      spaces throughout the file_specification.  If no spaces
      are used, there is no limitation (except for the VMS limit 
      of a command line) as too how many files can be specified 
      to print.

  2.  Filenames without an extension specified are assumed to have
      an extension of .LIS (as does VMS).

  3.  PVT assumes that DIR.PVT is not present and is not used in the
      present default directory.

  4.  The parameters on the SET TERMINAL command can be modified so
      that page breaks are skipped.
      see VMS HELP: HELP SET TERMINAL/PAGE
