I was wondering whether there are any programs or drivers to make the IM II per form as a typewriter. I'm interested in filling out some forms and I thought "w hy not use my IM II as a typewriter?" One other option that might be kinda nic e is to get the print head to move w/o printing a character until hitting a car riage return at which type it would go back to the start of that line and print the characters and then advance one line and wait for another carriage return. Is such a monster available or,if not,could some of you programmers out there t ake on the task and put it out here, say as shareware?? I think there is a need and I for one would gladly pay for the program. Hope to hear a reply soon. Thanks, ------- ERIC H. ROMO <UD069225@NDSUVM1.BITNET> CHEMISTRY DEPT. UNIV.

Yes -- someone already makes it, I think SOfStyle (maker of printer drivers for all kinds of printers). If no one on the net posts the product name in a day or so, call ComputerWare (415) 323-7557 (they have it in stock). -- Elliott S Frank ...!{hplabs,ames,sun}!amdahl!esf00 (408) 746-6384 or ....!{bnrmtv,drivax,hoptoad}!amdahl!esf00 [I have no connection with ComputerWare, other than as a satisifed customer.] [the above opinions are strictly mine, if anyone's.] [the above signature may or may not be repeated, depending upon some inscrutable property of the mailer-of-the-week.]
