Well... there are alternatives to a GUI. First, though, regarding cartridges, drivers, etc. Any good cartridge should come with a disk that has preset drivers for various WPs on it. One cartridge I've used that works well is the Pacific 25-in-1 Cartridge. Look in the catalogs to see if it's still available. BUT... a better solution, IMHO, is a software solution. I use MoreFonts, which gives me scalable (2 to 999, or something like that) fonts, comes with a bunch, and imports Adope Type 1 (of which tons are available, many over the net). Comes with drivers for many WP, including Word 5+ (I still use Word 5.0/Dos for the bulk of my writing). When I got it, it was about $85, but I'm not sure of availability. It's made by MicroLogic. There are several packages like this available still, I think - TrueType for DOS, etc. Look around... like a lot of good DOS software, you won't find it at the computer stores, but tons of it still is sold by mail order. Write me if you need more info on MoreFonts. Hope it helps... Ed
