A friend of mine works for a large state agency. He composes documents on an
SE in his office, prints them out on a Laserwriter, then hand-carries them
to another building where they are first scanned, then printed on a
Compugraphic MCS 8400.
The MCS 8400 has the capability of direct transfer of files via modem. The
sender is required to insert some formatting commands before certain lines
of text. For example, "*3" before a paragraph will cause it to be printed
in boldface on the 8400.
The problem is, he can't get it to work right. He composes files in both
MacWrite and WordPerfect and sends them successfully, but on the Compugraphic
end, they come out as garbage.
ANY help as to how to do this would be GREATLY appreciated.
