Wed 17-Oct-90: The printer to file rediction utility version 7.00
dating back to 1987 (/pc/pd2/)lptx700.zip is now available from
chyde.uwasa.fi.  If anyone knows of a more recent version, please
let me know, and have it so, I can make it available to the net.  I
am not deleting (yet) the (/pc/pd2/)lptx.zip version 6.00, because,
in the words of the author, the different versions are rather
parallel (there is a underlying pun there somewhere) than upgrades. 

The wares are available by anonymous ftp from chyde.uwasa.fi, Vaasa,
Finland, 128.214.12.3, or by using our mail server (use the latter
if, and only if you don't have anonymous ftp).  If you are not
familiar with anonymous ftp or mail servers, I am prepared send
prerecorded instructions on request (provided that your email
address is reachable).

LPTx 7.00 is the latest released version though the older versions still
work under a lot of circumstances that version 7.00 won't handle. 

I've always advised users to try them all from version 3.00 to 7.00.

Beta version 8.00 is available now from my BBS.  I'd rather not put that
one into an archive until it gets a few months of testing.  8.00 is a
complete rewrite using a lot of the TSR techniques discovered in the
past two years. 

My BBS is 619-549-3927.
