In a recent posting I stated that Microsoft Write from Atari does not include GDOS support for Epson FX-80 printers. It seemed too dumb to be true. Well it is true, but there is a solution besides buying Easy Draw. At B and C Computervision last weekend I saw some diskettes from Atari labeled "GDOS Fonts and Device Driver". There was one disk for the Epson FX-80 printers, and one for a Star printer. The disks were priced at $5 each, a price not a soul could object to. It was true, and it was good. Also, I picked up a copy of FONTZ! More on this later .... Karl Rowley rowley@orville.nas.nasa.gov ames!orville.nas.nasa.gov!rowley "Any views expressed are my own."

The copies of Microsoft Word being sold in Canada (still version 1.0) now come with epson and okidata drivers. One huge problem though... Word reformats your document when using the graphics print and the epson driver - so what you see IS NOT what you get. Really frustrating on long documents! /leonard
