Use: Word Processor-Printer Driver
Program name: Pdrv Wordpr+
Associated program/file/s: WPINFO
K2F (John Davis) has cobbled together a
couple of programs to produce an
interesting word processor/printer
driver. When the program runs, press L
then enter "WPINFO" to load the info.
John reported a couple of the printer
codes not working although when I
tested the program they worked fine.
This is no doubt due to the vagaries of
printers.

PLEASE NOTE that the programs, JIGSAWM
and BOXESM are incompatible with the
standard BBC B as *SHADOW is used. Some
of the programs are made DFS only due
to the *DRIVE command, this could
easily be removed if you are determined
to use ADFS.

John presents an unusual program. Like
the 3D magic eye programs, it benefits
from being examined carefully.
Eventually, it is possible to see the
