[I might as well get this in before everybody just throws away their 
copies of Wordup 3.0.]  

I believe a couple of people mentioned that printing actually works
for them.  It doesn't for me, and I have a pretty ordinary printer,
an Epson FX-85.

Text Mode:

There appears to be only one text mode driver, EPSONFX.TPD, which
prints by going over each word twice.  It also creates lines which
are too long too fit without wrapping.  Must one enter text in a
certain way for text mode printing to work?

WP Mode:

The docs suggest reinstalling to switch drivers.  Is it sufficient
to just put the driver in the same directory as WORDUP.PRG?
Has anyone had luck with any particular Epson driver?  My printing
problem occurs on the second page (an extra half-line of garbage),
so it is very tedious trying all the possibilities.

Wish I'd kept 2.0 - it worked under certain circumstances.

I _do_ have the latest driver disk upgrade.  The only new Epson thing 
on it is the EPSONFX.TPD, dated 6/19/90.

thanks if anyone has ideas ...

John
