[Coco] DriveWire printing options

[Bob Devries]

Hi Aaron,

I'm sure there are some of us who still like to do development work on the 
real thing, and often being able to list all or part of a source file is 
useful.

How likely is it to be able to catch the large range of Tandy printers that 
were used, and convert their output (usually in various graphics modes) to a 
raster image for printing on a Windows printer, or to a PDF or other 
graphics file such as jpeg? If this was a possibility then various 
programmes which produce graphics output could be used.

Regards, Bob Devries
