I could make my MT-180L print with some of the drivers supplied by Amiga, but so far cannot issue Amiga escape codes to tell printer to say go into NLQ mode say with Proportional Spaceing and other goodie like that. I found in public domain a driver for the MT Spirit/Sprint-80(sp) printer and it does pretty good but it over prints for Preferences NLQ setting – not the MT's real NLQ. That's why I was overjoyed to hear you say you would write me a real driver for the 180L. I tried a driver somebody had on Compuserve for a 180L, but it would do crazy fits so I gave it up. I will be happy in trhe highest to get a real driver for the 180L and would really be in heaven with a word processor as good as Steve Punter's WordPro-64(c) from Proline for the old C-64. It even had a driver for the 180L! I'm counting on you or the driver. I don't know about a good W. P. yet. Wordstar(c) is supposed to come out with one. Also WordPerfect(sp)(c). I just want a good one that is not mouse-crazy and that will let me don do underline, bouldfaace, different fonts, lpi, cpi, super-, sub-script, headings, footings, centering, page cnt, columns, tables, etc. Just the world. Mistype above. I'm counting on you "for" the driver. I wish this thing had full screen edit or even cursor edit. Somebody is spreading roomer at work that Commodore will offer trade-in of -1000 cpu for +$xxx for -2000 cpu. James Boatwright
