Carlo's msg about making up special-purpose modes otoh seemed to me the
kernel of an interesting *XyWrite* discussion. Printer drivers have all
sorts of offbeat applications that are discussed here rarely if ever.
E.g., as I've said repeatedly, I replaced my PostScript driver's entire
fb< with a Windows graphical app's PostScript prolog. Lets me use raw PS
coding to draw in xyW3 and integrate EPS files with low overhead. And my
html<>xyCodes conversion system uses a print-to-disk html.prn I wrote for
down & dirty ci's. Somewhere I have a similar xyW->Quark driver that I
plan to dig out and work on again when I get a minute. Getting modes,
fonts, and whatnot sorted out in such drivers is a real challenge. Has
PCL dulled everybody to the possibilities? Anybody doing *anything*
innovative with xyWrite? 	--a
