About Broadcast Forms

Broadcast forms can be printed to any selected device.

Forms include:

	ASCII forms

ASCII Forms are simple text data. Broadcast provides a text editor in which you can define the ASCII forms that are broadcast to output devices.

ASCII forms and their companion Control Character Token files exist in three states.

Files in each state are located in a separate folder in the following project directories.
