Huge Print File Created after Starting with /L PSS ID Number: Q32301 Article last modified on 01-13-1989 PSS database name: D_MPlan

3.04

MS-DOS

Summary: Multiplan Version 3.04 can be started with the /L parameter to cause the application to send linefeeds instead of a formfeed to get to the top of a new page. However, if you start Multiplan in this manner and perform a Print File, a very large file is created on disk due to the number of carriage returns being written between each page of information. If you plan on performing a Print File command during the session, you should begin Multiplan by typing “MP” rather than “MP/L”. Starting the program with the command-line argument “/L” is not written into the .INI file at the time you quit. Therefore, starting without the parameter will always cause Multiplan to use a formfeed as the method of getting to the top of a new page.
