I am looking for a piece of software which must have been written a thousand
times: I need a simple program to turn ascii text into (say) 3/8 inch tall
output using graphics mode on a dot matrix printer.
The application I have in mind is to print names on gummed labels, which can
then be stuck on "Hello My Name Is" tags for a conference we put on every
year. The output font needs to be legible from a distance.
If it matters, we run SysV on a 3B15 and available printers are an AT&T 5310
and an AT&T 470 (each is a clone of something more common, but I'm not sure
what). Of course, if I get a well-written and -documented program intended
for any reasonably vanilla printer I should be able to hack it for use here.
Thanks.
