That has not been required historically, but I will take a look.  Right 
now I can't print, something in the dw save it as text code is now adding 
trash to the printfile, so my B&W laser just spits out all the paper in 
the drawer without putting even a smudge of carbon black on it.  Cups in 
the meantime is saying the print job was successful... The coco has been 
rebooted many times without restarting dw, so it may be time to try that. 
FWIW, printing a cups test page works fine, so it has to be dw (I think)

And it appears that the next boot disk I make, I make on a floppy with all 
the dw stuff stripped out so I can write a script to format me a half a 
dozen HDBDOS vdisks to play in.  Only the first 4 or so plus $7E, $80 and 
$82 have ever been formatted.  Now I need to find a floppy I can sacrifice 
to do that.  Sigh.  Tomorrow I think.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
