	Hmmm, that's funny!  I just called Samna and purchased Ami Professional
from them WITH their student discount program for a mere $200.  Buyer Beware,
output from Ami Professional (like any Windows Program) to a nine pin printer
STINKS!  Printing is done in one pass, and what it catches, it prints... no
double passes to fill in the gaps, nothing.  Looks like hell.  I called Samna
and they told me that is the way the Windows printer drivers work. Ech.
