I am trying to superscript and subscript numbers for footnotes
and have not been able to do what the printer requires.
I have a TRS-80 Model-16 and a Radio Shack DMP430 printer.
The manual for the printer says to do these steps:
superscript = (decimal)27 83 0 (hex) 1B 53 0 {text to be raised}
unsuper.....= (decimal)27 88 (hex) 1B 58
I am able to insert the 27 (escape key) and the 83 (plus sign)
but have not figured out how to get the 0 (ascii 'nul') into
my text. The question is really "how does one get the ascii null
character (octal 000) into a text file?" My nroff program also fails
to put the right sequence of characters into formatted text
files to do super- & sub- scripting. If anyone has already figured out
how to do this, I would appreciate your expert advice.
Thanks ahead of time!!!
Until later,
Pete
