Subject: Font Listing Program

     The following is taken from 'PC Publishing' February 1989.  It
is posted without permission and without any testing of the program.
I will test the program on my Varityper VT600+ printer within the
next few days.

I repeat:


     It is posted without permission and without any testing of the
program.

     I have found a few of the typos my self.  Here is a diff.  There
is still at least one bug left since I get nothing from my VT600.
