If there is interest I may post them somewhere. They are: 1. Much support for LN01 and LA120's. a. They select different print widths depending on the setting of the -w flag. b. LA120 can also have the page length set with a -L flag. 2. Environment variable LPR for setting defaults. (gets read after the system defaults and before the command line.) 3. A filter for output with "fortran" carraige control. 4. A filter for the LN01 which accepts the standard nroff output (i.e. the TTY37 table) and does subscripts/superscripts and does some greek letter fak- ing. 5. 4 or 5 major bugs fixed in lpf.c. The program mentioned in #4 was written with an eye towards also supporting the LA120 and LA100 with the same capability. Both have the capability to place text within a half-line which is all that is needed. ----------------------------------------- David Herron; ARPA: "ukma!david"@ANL-MCS (Note the quote marks.)
