Any ideas? > -- Gary Chapman There have been PATCH fixes for NW 386 printing. They are on CompuServe's NetWire NOVA, in Library 17. It is a large file. I do not know of any Internet server that has it available. It is called 386PRT.ZIP Get a hold of the file, and your problems will be over. I will put it on our Boston public BBS. Phone 617-932-0310. Give us till next week 1/15.
