From: Keith Petersen <W8SDZ@Simtel20.ARPA> GEMSET10 is a version of MXSET by Simon J. Ewins set up for a Gemini-10 printer. The following has been done - 1. Home printhead command removed. 2. Carriage return and linefeed not sent to printer after commands. 3. Proportional spacing command added. 4. 12 cpi command added. 5. Start column command added. 6. Lines per inch command added. 7. Formfeed command added. 8. Optional printer status checking added. 9. Header line position command added. 10. Eliminated stack imbalance and improper use of PRINT##. Here is a short review of MXSET: MXSET Rev. 1.2 by Simon J. Ewins, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This program will set/reset all of the major functions of the Epson MX-80 printer. The program uses Z80 Zilog mnemonics and calls are made to Richard Conn's excellent SYSLIB.REL file. Microsoft's M80 macro assembler is needed for assembly of this file as well as the SYSLIB file. The GEMSET files are available on SIMTEL20 as: Filename Type Bytes Sectors CRC Directory MICRO:<CPM.LIST> GEMSET10.COM.1 COM 2816 22 = 16H CE53H GEMSET10.HEX.1 ASCII 7933 62 = 3EH 497EH GEMSET10.MAC.1 ASCII 7127 56 = 38H 0B96H GEMSET10.MSG.3 ASCII 549 5 = 5H B324H The original MXSET12 files are also available for Epson owners: Filename Type Bytes Sectors CRC Directory MICRO:<CPM.EPSON> MXSET12.COM.1 COM 2176 17 = 11H EED5H MXSET12.HEX.1 ASCII 6133 48 = 30H 2923H MXSET12.MAC.1 ASCII 4068 32 = 20H DB1DH
