Poking through all the readme and text files of the Supplemental
Disk Library turned up a curious creature called DMCOLOR.DLL.

This was on disk4 I believe.

So far my experience with DLL's has been filters used by programs
like PageMaker and Corel to convert files etc. I don't know
how to use this one.

There seems to be no info about it in the SDL disks that I could find.

A dump of it shows strings like Dot Matrix Color Routines.
This leads me to a hope and a question.

The hope is that this will somehow allow poor colour dot matrix devices
to print colour images from Windows (eg. PaintBrush on an Epson JX80)

The question is: WHat do I do with it?

Microsoft Tech support here in Canada (thus the use of color and colour!)
didn't know what it was but "will look into it and call back". If I get
a response from Microsoft I will post!
