[net.text] Spinwriter thimbles

dberry@ucla-cs.UUCP (01/06/85)

I have some Spinwriter(TM) thimbles with the full 128 character set. We
have lost our manual. Can anyone tell me how to select any of the
non-standard characters for printing? Has anyone built an nroff terminal
table say for the Technical Math/Times Roman thimble that allows the troff
characters that appear on the thimble to be printed rather than constructed
by overstrikes as is done for -T450.
I would appreciate any assistance.

The alternate characters on a NEC spinwriter can be accessed using the SI and
SO (^N ^O) characters.  I don't remember which does which.
