I've a recent copy of the simterm distribution that included the
"C" source for ibmpr. Sadly simterm has no facility for tailoring
the printer control codes to support bold, underlined, and other
attributes on non Epson printers. I've a Juki 6100. I imagine you 
could hack the source and recompile if you've got a Pascal
compiler.  The code is clearly written if sparsely commented. If I
want these attributes I'll nroff the file on UNIX using TERM=lp and
then use xtrans (also included in my distribution) to XMODEM the
output to DOS. When it arrives I then print it at my leisure;
getting bold and underscore the hard way, by overstriking
(B^HB^HBo^Ho^Ho...).

If anyone want's a copy of if ibmpr.c, just drop me some mail. It is
System V dependent for its tty ioctl calls.
