- This is a Printer driver for the DEC (Digital Equipment) LN03+
- laser printer. The source provided compiles under Aztec C 3.4a and
- possibly later versions, but I havn't tried them.
-
- You will have to modify the MAKEFILE to the "path" of your
- include files, but otherwise everything should MAKE.
-
- There seems to be a problem with Aztec C 3.4a in trashing Reg A6
- when using the memory allocating/dealloc routines. As render.c uses this
- register on exit it would crash. BUT GREAT NEWS I have included a patch
- by simply saving A6 on entry to render.c and restoring it on exit.
- This cured the appearance of the dreaded GURU on the completion of
- each screen dump.
-
- SCREENDUMPS
-
- The screen dumps produce a very nice grey-scale picture with the
- dumps done at a grid size of .0045" on the ln03+. I havn't included
- a facility to change these with preferences yet as the other grid
- sizes don't seem to produce as nice a picture.
-
- TEXT
-
- As for the text routines, I have supported Italics if your machine
- has them installed, underlining,bold, and small and large fonts.
- Superscript/subscript is used by PLU/PLD commands. All character sets
- are supported. Proportional spacing is also supported.
-
- Please feel free to modify the source and include other features, I
- only ask that you include my name as original author (makes me feel
- good) and get it on the FISH disks as that is my only means of getting
- public domain software.
-
- ......... enjoy.
