And of course I don't have access to any of those referenced so I have been using vanilla output. The printers that I have access to are an IBM PD5218 letter quality printer and an DECWRITER IV. The IBM in particular has a lot of power (micro spacing both horizontally and vertically). Will any of the standard output flags work with these printers? Are there drivers available for these printers? Thanks, hugh
