ListFile prints a file on a printer attached to your terminal's pass-through printer port.
This utility simply turns on the terminal's pass-through printer port and prints a text file on an ASCII printer (such as a DEC LA-50) connected there.
Here is a session using ListFile to print the file gamma.seq on our ASCII printer.
% listfile LISTFILE what file(s) ? gamma.seq %
The printer port is turned on, and gamma.seq is printed on the printer.
Replace, CompressText, OneCase, ShiftOver, DeTab, ChopUp, LPrint, and ListFile are the Wisconsin Package file utilities programs.
ListFile is only for printing text files, not for making plots. The printer must be turned on. The terminal and printer must be set to the same baud rate.
If you use ListFile frequently and you find yourself repeatedly typing the same command modifiers, you can save yourself this effort by creating a foreign command in your gcgmyinit.com file. See "Customizing Your Login" in Chapter 1, Getting Started in the User's Guide for help defining foreign commands.
If you need to stop this program, use <Ctrl>C to reset your terminal and session as gracefully as possible. Searches and comparisons write out the results from the part of the search that is complete when you use <Ctrl>C.
All parameters for this program may be added to the command line. Use -CHEck to view the summary below and to specify parameters before the program executes. In the summary below, the capitalized letters in the parameter names are the letters that you must type in order to use the parameter. Square brackets ([ and ]) enclose parameter values that are optional. For more information, see "Using Program Parameters" in Chapter 3, Using Programs in the User's Guide.

suppresses the heading at the top of the print-out.
number of lines to print on each page.

doesn't send blank lines or a form feed at the end of each page This causes printing to be continuous across the page break, without a margin at the top and bottom of each page.
sets the number of blank lines at the end of the listing. The first page is shortened on the assumption that there were the same number of blank lines at the beginning.
