Try this (Imagewriter users -- take careful note of #4): We had an interesting variation on this in my dorm last year. We had 2 Fat Macs and one Plus; the Plus had an IW II. Most people had single-sided floppies, with *old* Systems; but some (such as myself :-) used double-sided for various reasons. At some point I realized that, if somebody printed on the Plus with a modern System, people running older ones would subsequently get the hex-dump garbage. Simple solution, fortunately: just reChoose the printer. -- /============================================================================\ | Francis Stracke | My opinions are my own.
