A bug in IW2 v1.0. I fixed it for 1.1 (if anybody besides Dave D wants a copy, send email; otherwise I'll wait & post it with the next major Davex revision). I'm sure someone will be amused by what the problem was: There was a partially implemented command in the source for setting the printer's page height. The routine started with a BRK on purpose, because it wasn't implemented (yes, it wasted one byte in the object). I commented its option character out of a table, but neglected to comment out the corresponding subroutine's address from another table. Turns out this command was near the end of my tables (otherwise I would've noticed the problem right away). The broken options in IW2 1.0 are -f, -x, -i, and -e. -- --David A.
