MS-TAS: I donate this new utility to Public Domain. MS-TAS is a utility to peek and print out Mscript and Tasword CODE files “without need to have either of the softwares” loaded. Some of us do not use either Mscript or Tasword, but receive data files saved with these two popular word processors. I got tired of wondering “what the heck’s in thar” and MS-TAS is the result. It CATs the disk directory, prompts to input a code file name, then LOADS the code and begins printing with a Centronics printer. All you need to input is printing line length, the STARTING code address and the BYTE LENGTH of the code. For Aerco and Larken DOS, the printer code is also booted in and initialized.
