GEMINI’S FULL RANGE OF
PRINTING CAPABILITIES
This chapter builds on the foundation of Chapters 5 and 6 and
demonstrates how you can put Gemini to work for you.
As with the other chapters, this one presents programs
written in Microsoft BASIC for the IBM-PC. If you have an Apple,
Atari, Commodore, Osborne, or TRS-80, you should consult the
Appendices for those computers at the back of this manual. If you
have a computer other than one of those just mentioned, look in
the appendix of the computer most like the one you have. To learn
more about running programs in BASIC, consult the user’s manual
for your computer.
This chapter begins with a discussion of using Gemini’s
expanded character set. The middle of this chapter considers low-
resolution graphics, with sample programs. Chapter 7 concludes
with some tips on producing high-resolution graphics.
FOREIGN LANGUAGE CHARACTERS
Gemini can converse in the English language, as well as in most
of the Romantic languages (French, Spanish, Italian, German,
etc.). By the way, the “Romantic” languages are so-named
because of the Latin influence of the Romans, not because
vacationing Americans find the European locals amorously
irresistable. Swedish and Danish are also available.

you’ve already learned for using BASIC.
