If anyone is lucky (:-) enough to have an ImageWriter or ImageWriter LQ, I wrote a filter that PROPERLY handles tbl and nroff output. The boxes and half-line feeds are supported. It also makes nroff (manual pages, etc) output print 2 times faster. My new version also "rotates" the ink on the ribbon through all 4 "colors". That is, if you have a black ribbon, it will switch "colors" on every page, making sure you don't use up all of the ink in just one of the four bands of black. Note I said nroff. Troff is another beast. But at least I can print out rough drafts in an efficient manner and have the pages line up. -- Bruce G. Barnett barnett@crd.ge.com uunet!crdgw1!barnett
