Keith, the QUEUE-IV spooler is indeed transparent to all characters. I
have been using it for more than two months now with an MX-80 and have
had no problems whatsoever printing straight listings, WordStar files,
and more recently lots of Epson graphics using Fancy Font . Bob, the
guru behind the Queue-IV, is in a position to supply a prom which will
do things such as skip over perforations if desired, but this is not
normally supplied. The unit does have the option of converting an
incoming <FF> to a series of <LF>'s (there are a couple of choices of
form length) but this can be turned off. Actually, I must confess that
I do not have a manual for the unit; I met Bob through Compuserve and he
sold me S/N 2 with the understanding that I would be a beta test site.
I have yet to receive the manual and do not really need it other than
to satisfy my curiosity.
