Is it possible for Ghostscript to use the 1/216" roll capabilities of Epson
9pin's and clones?

At home I use an Amiga, Post1.7, and an ancient mx80.  In the 3 pass (1/216")
mode the output is great.

I thought I could get my friend's Seikosha 9pin clone to do the same with her
PC, & ghostscript.  But I could only get 1 pass modes (1/72).

so: IS IT POSSIBLE?

She has Dos4 & Win3.0 on a 286 with 1024k, if it matters
