Did you send a message to the person who uploaded it to SIMTEL20?  If
you don't know who uploaded it send e-mail to me and I'll tell you.
Give the uploader a chance to tell you what's wrong before you tell
the whole world that the version on SIMTEL20 doesn't work.  It does
work.  Nate spent a lot of time configuring and testing it for many
different video displays and printers.  Perhaps the real problem is
that you don't have the right fonts.  Nate just uploaded four large
ZIPs of fonts for GS212.  Watch comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d for an
announcement later today.

One of the reasons that I repost uploader's announcements instead of
creating the announcement under my name is to make it easy for users
to use the "r" (reply) key to send e-mail to the uploader if there is
a question or a problem.  Please remember there *is* a difference
between "r" and "f".  The reply gives the uploader a chance to help
you by e-mail.  The "f" (follow-up) tells the whole world.  When there
is a problem *I* want to hear about it.

As the famous sign in the old corner store says:

   If you like our [products|work|service], tell others.
   If you don't, tell us.
