Unplug the LN03 and plug the cable into a VT100 or other printer that can do 132 columns, and observe the "printout". If this is the problem, use lpf for the "output filter", so you will get the nice header pages, and /bin/cat for the "accounting filter" so your text won't get diddled. -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@uunet.uu.net Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (only by moonlite)
