Buy the GDOS printer driver set from Migraph instead!! I know because I was foolish enough to buy the TurboJet drivers without asking first, and was it ever a mistake. First, the GDOS driver for my Panasonic KXP4450 Laser Partner printer does not allow complete grpahics on a page. I bought the shareware program IMG CAT from the author on GEnie and when I wne to print out a catalog of IMG pics d/led from GEnie it would only print 6 pics from page, the rest of the page was blank. I asked on GEnie about it and was told that the TurboJet GDOS driver was at fault. I went out and bought the Migraph GDOS printer drivers and everything now prints fine. I have been told that there are other programs which don't work well with the Neocept TurboJet GDOS drivers. And to boot it all, the Migraph drivers were cheaper than the Neocept TurboJet!! So, try to order the Migraph GDOS drivers and you will be happy!! Standard disclaimers apply; i speak for myself. -- Richard E.

The combination of TurboJet, G+Plus, WordUp and Deskjet+ printer works very well for me. TurboJet, in particular, has never caused any problem. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Steve Eckmann | internet: eckmann@cs.ucsb.edu | phone: (805) 961-4394

For example, I've been writing a GDOS program, and with Turbo Turbojet forgets which VDI write mode it's in whenever there isn't enough free memory in the system. This makes italic (skewed) text letter write over each other. I don't think that's how it's supposed to work even when the VDI _is_ in transparent mode. When I use other drivers, the problem goes away. Of course, your mileage may vary. --Steve Steve Whitney "It's never _really_ the last minute" (())_-_(()) UCLA Comp. Sci. Grad.
