I'm aware of, and have seen Smart Key II in use.
I am very interested in its companion program,
Smart Print. I need a filter between the output
of a word processor, and a letter quality printer.
The problem is that I need to do foreign language
text processing such as the ' over another character,
the umlaut etc. This requires that the printer
strike, backspace, and strike again. Neat trick, except
that the word processor will count this as three
characters, and justify accordingly. I hope to find
a public domain 'filter' that will recognize an otherwise
unused chacachter such as ] or [ and substitute the
appropriate strike, backspace, strike sequence.
Anyone had to 'deal' with this problem?
And /or know of an existing program that will
filter the text for me? Any help will be much
apppreciated.



	Thanks in advance
