I print the Tech Notes with the old MacWrite (5.0). Sometimes (seldom) I get
an extra page (like page 6 of 5) but otherwise there are no problems with
line or page breaks. Of course it would be nice if the Notes wouldn't be
hand-crafted for US paper, but it's not a big problem. The important thing
is that the Notes are written and made available. I guess you could avoid the
problem completely by using a US system disk when printing.
