I have a bunch of hacks I have applied to these pro-
grams over the course of the last year. If there is
interest I may post them somewhere. They are:
1. Much support for LN01 and LA120's.
a. They select different print widths depending on the
setting of the -w flag.
b. LA120 can also have the page length set with a -L
flag.
2. Environment variable LPR for setting defaults. (gets
read after the system defaults and before the command
line.)
3. A filter for output with "fortran" carraige control.
4. A filter for the LN01 which accepts the standard nroff
output (i.e. the TTY37 table) and does
subscripts/superscripts and does some greek letter fak-
ing.
5. 4 or 5 major bugs fixed in lpf.c.
The program mentioned in #4 was written with an eye
towards also supporting the LA120 and LA100 with the same
capability. Both have the capability to place text within a
half-line which is all that is needed.
