A whileback, I caught the tail end of a discussion about Imagewriter II or LQ problems. Here are mine: 1) My imagewriter occasionally prints lines of text 'squashed', i.e. about 1 pin shorter than they should be. 2) Occasionally, when I send output to my Imagewriter, the darn thing just starts spitting out reams of hex code in neat little columns. Can anyone help me or point to a fix for these annoying MacBugs? -ALSO- I used to program a lot, in BASIC (shudder) and finally in assembler and machine code for my Apple II+. When I began using macs, I stopped programming, as I had no idea how to go about it. I find myself very much wanting to learn how to program the Macintosh, but I *still* have no idea how to go about it. I know a little bit of C (not much) and nothing else. My question is: What language should I learn (if any) and do I NEED the APDA kit or whatever? How does all this work? I would prefer to keep learning C to starting something else, but if I had to, well... Thanks to any and all who reply (and, indeed, those who took the time to read this!)\ -JBZimmerman! -- ___________ | "A flute with no holes is not a flute.
