I have some questions about Microsoft Write:

First, which version is current (I have 1.00).  If there is a more 
up-to-date copy, what is the upgrade deal?

Secondly,  I'm  having some difficulty printing GDOS fonts  on  my 
Panasonic  1091 (Epson FX-80 clone).   While I can load the  fonts 
and  see  them  on  the screen,  I can't  get  them  printed  out.  
Actually when I print them out the built-in font of my printer  is 
used.

I've tried to use the printer setup menu,  and specify a  graphics 
printer.   Then part of my screen fills up with random bits, and I 
get a message of "cannot initialize gdos device".

I hate to ask this after just buying the product,  but is it worth 
using?


P.S.  I believe that I've gotten GDOS to load at boot time.  At least 
I get the "GDOS resident" message when the machine boots...


Thanks in advance,
