I have a program that uses picture comments to print dashed lines on the
laserwriter, as described in tech note 91. However, as soon
as it turns on dashed lines, the laserwriter driver (3.1) suffers a strange
disorientation -- it gets the coordinates for LineTo calls *backwards*,
exchanging the horizontal and vertical coordinates. As soon as I turn
off the dashed lines, things return to normal. Wierd.
Extra info: I'm using Lightspeed C, under system 3.2.

Anyone know how to check for the driver version number? --Tom Lippincott ..ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!fdot "We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dreams." -- W. Wonka (quoting W.
