[comp.sys.amiga] PROFF

uh2@psuvm.bitnet.UUCP (01/25/87)

I am having trouble with proff and my Prowriter printer.  The Prowriterm
doesn't backspace very well, so underline and bold don't work.

I don't have a C compiler, and probably don't have the time to "fix"
proff anyway.  Has someone modified proff to read some kind of ne of
printer-initialization file for printer control codes--or maybe better,
to produce output with Amigoid printer controls so the usual copy to
prt: command will work?

Oh yeah--proff is from an early fish disk, and I am using a "pirated"
version of Official Release 1.2 because I have never yet found a dealer
with one for sale.

Yes, I modified Proff to use the Amiga Printer codes rather than the
funky backspace-print-backspace-print stuff. I also added the ability
to use italics (a .it command like .bd or .ul) It wasn't that tough
I will post the diffs later this week.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.

Would some kind soul mail me the sources to PROFF for the Amiga?  
Thanks in advance.

Didn't someone post that they had created a version that used the
Amiga print codes instead of doing the generic backspacing method
of underlineing and bolding.

I would be nice if that version were posted.
