Re: *PLACE

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

*PLACE repeats the print line up to that point, at that point.  It was 
an easy way to make side-by-side copies of documents.   A crash printer 
can only print through 4 or 5 copies of a document, so if you needed 8 
copies you would buy a four-part side-by-side form.  Then your output 
specs could have *PLACE at the end of every line and it would print the 
right side copies exactly like the left side copies.

At least, thats the way this rusty brain remembers it, Adam.
