I've found some bugs in 3.0 also.  I started out by making a "custom" Image-
writer.  I added more CPI codes (semicondensed, ultracondensed, 18 and 20 CPI
for use with downloadable fonts, etc.), switches between the German and Amer-
ican character sets (I do some homework for German on my IIe), and a graphic
Open-Apple character (I don't have an Imagewriter II).

I wrote a letter one day and set it in full justification--as I normally do.
AW 3.0 chose to disregard the platen width setting (8.0) and the right margin
setting (0.7) and spit out text for a full 8 inches.  This meant that the
printer spit out most of a line and tacked on the rest of it before the begin-
ning of the line.  Either I can (1) use full justification or (2) get 20 CPI,
German, and Open-Apple.  I can't get both.
