Or for use. I just bought a Data General Dasher LP2 matrix printer,
which is not compatible to _any_ program I tested and so I have to
write a print program of my own. One of the features I'm going to add
is text justification.

It's quite easy to do left, right and center justification, but the
wide (both left _and_ right justification) is giving me a lot of
trouble. All pointers to literature are more than welcome! Even some
sample source code would be accepted... ;-)
