Why doesn't the HP III have it? I'm sure that the ATM TRT referred to is not in the IIP itself, but rather in the PS cartridge. The ATM font creation is superior to the original PS method, so newer PS interpreters use it. I would expect HP's PS cartridge for the III to use it as well. -- Jason Merrill jmerrill@jarthur.claremont.edu
