Hello everybody. A whileback, I caught the tail end of a discussion
about Imagewriter II or LQ problems. Here are mine:
1) My imagewriter occasionally prints lines of text 'squashed', i.e.
about 1 pin shorter than they should be.
2) Occasionally, when I send output to my Imagewriter, the darn thing
just starts spitting out reams of hex code in neat little columns.
Can anyone help me or point to a fix for these annoying MacBugs?
-ALSO-
I used to program a lot, in BASIC (shudder) and finally in assembler and
machine code for my Apple II+. When I began using macs, I stopped
programming, as I had no idea how to go about it. I find myself very
much wanting to learn how to program the Macintosh, but I *still* have
no idea how to go about it. I know a little bit of C (not much) and
nothing else. My question is: What language should I learn (if any)
and do I NEED the APDA kit or whatever? How does all this work? I would
prefer to keep learning C to starting something else, but if I had to,
well...
Thanks to any and all who reply (and, indeed, those who took the time to
read this!)\
-JBZimmerman!
