Page application was developed to be a small program that will allow you to print ASCII documents and program listings. It works out sensible pagination for documents and C source files, and it will also print multiple pages side by side in landscape mode on a suitable printer, either consecutively, or in the correct order for centre-stapling to make a booklet.

It is command-line and configuration file driven, so it is suitable for placing in batch files for unattended operation.

As well as tidying up listings of programs and long documents, this program will also enable you to save paper - various configurations allow up to 5 normal 66-line pages to fit on each side of an A4 sheet.

With the configuration files provided, this program can replace both BOOKLET and 8P (two other paper-saving programs).

The program can also understand special character sequences of your choice to set escape sequences to your printer - e.g. bold, underline etc. Special sequences at the beginning of a line can be used to indicate heading levels.
