EZ-DRAW caters for this, the screen is properly dimensioned. The disappointment came when I made the first hardcopy on my LX-80: it seems that OUTPUT (supposedly a GEM program) refuses to print on anything but an 11 inch paper size, so after 11 inches of drawing a pageskip (CTRL-L) is generated, and merrily the drawing continues with approx. 1 inch blank paper in it. I then tried setting my LX-80 to 11 inch mode: no dice, the blank gap was reduced to approx. 1 cm. How can I cure this, I hate glueing things together, and I need the 30 cm. paper length.
