   There have been PATCH fixes for NW 386 printing.  They are on CompuServe's
   NetWire NOVA, in Library 17.  It is a large file.   I do not know of any
   Internet server that has it available.  It is called 386PRT.ZIP

   Get a hold of the file, and your problems will be over.

   I will put it on our Boston public BBS.  Phone 617-932-0310.
   Give us till next week 1/15.
