Does somebody know what causes the LW to screw up on A4? Is the error in the
LW ROM's or in the LaserPrep or LaserWriter files?
It doesn't seem to be the ROM's because the LW uses, nicely, the whole (A4)
page when an Apollo is steering it. 
When the problem is with the LaserPrep or LaserWriter files, is it possible
to correct the errors myself (with the known tools: ResEdit, Fedit etc.) and
if so, could someone send me the patches.

Does somebody know what the last version of the LaserWriter file is, the 
last vsn I've seen is v.1.1a1 (and it still seems to have the A4 error).
If there is a newer and corrected version around is it then possible and
allowed to mail it to me?

I've also noticed that the new LaserWriter and LaserPrep have other
TYPE's and CREATORs; LaserWriter was of TYPE PRES and is now of TYPE PRER
LaserPrep was of TYPE PSYS and is now of TYPE LROM and was of CREATOR LROM and
is now of CREATOR LWRT. Does that mean that those new Laser drivers work
only with the new System (>= 3.0) ?

Thanks in advance,
