thats how i remember it .. why, i am not so sure now, i used to
know whan i first had to reconfigure my printer everytime i
swaped from os9 >< ms dos, fortunatly is was a well enginered
bit of kit. could have been to do with how the underlaying
operating system treated the carriage return/linefeed
combination of characters thta were responsible for teh
movement of teh platten and the printhead .. those were the
days

much kind regards/appreciations
