This is the second time I have seen a posting like this in recent months, so
I'll post the "cure": a small TSR that converts a CRLF sequence into a CR.
This program is useful for any early Radio Shack printer that did not have
a way of separating CR and LF actions and works by taking over the BIOS 
interrupt.  Programs that send data directly to the printer, or do graphics
on printers so equiped, will fail (Sorry!).
