Izaya 19 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 So I wrote a simple program to print files. It supports lines longer than 30 chars and multiple pages. Get it here: http://pastebin.com/PX0D137U Usage: print [-g] <file> -g is used for specifying local instead of global paths. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
