[program deleted]

This is strange! I have acquired W4W only about a week ago, and I have
been able to print to a file (in PostScript format), apload to a Unix
system (using kermit) and send files to an Apple Laserwriter II (among
others) without any problems!

I am not an expert on this but I just happen to know that this works
fine for me. Please email if you have any questions about configuration
or setup.
