Printers+ front-end
===================

This is the open source release of the Printers+ front-end, released
under the Mozilla Public License 1.1 (see file License for details)

Printers+ is an enhanced front-end for the RISC OS Printing system.
Printers+ provides a number of enhanced features over the standard
RISC OS Printers application, including support for remote network
printers, and some advanced printer features.

Building Printers+
------------------

The source contains a number of obey files designed to build various
parts of the Printers+ application, or a full distribution.

The !!Setup file sets a number of paths and aliases needed in order to
build Printers+, and may require customising according to your own
environment. The !!Setup file includes comments to help you customise
as appropriate.

To build the Printers+ application it should only be necessary to run
!!Setup, and then to run !MkInstall. Printers+ will be built in the
directory Installed (or a directory of your choice if you modify
!!Setup).

As the sourceforge release covers the Printers+ front-end and not the
PDumper back-ends the generated application will not contain the
necessary PDumper modules. In order to build a full distribution it is
therefore necessary to copy the contents of the Modules and PDumpers
directories from an existing copy of Printers+, or from the Printers+
skeleton application (at
http://roprinters.sourceforge.net/skeleton/PrintersSkeleton.zip).

Mailing lists
-------------

The Printers+ project has three mailing lists. The announce list will
be used for the announcement of new releases of the Printers+
application, the users list is for user discussion of Printers+, and
the development list is for discussion of development of Printers+
and the RISC OS printing system. To subscribe to any of the lists
please use the links available on the web site.

Development
-----------

If you are interested in developing Printers+ then feel free to get in
contact (using the address at the bottom of this file) to let me know
the area you are interested in developing. As mentioned above there is
also a mailing list for development discussions.
