My dDad bought Micro Illustrator for his Radio Schachack PC clone, but later
found out the only printers they support are $1600 ink jet ones!  This seemed
patently reidiculous to me, since the print fileimaag=age is stored on a file and
the format of the file mis known to some software.  Why couldn't it be
sent to ainterpreted by a program and sent to a dot matrix printer.  After all,
on a monochrome screen, it's only pixelss.

Can anyone tell me the format of the print file.  ?  I am assuming that
Micro PIllustrator files are compatible across systems (and that the
same is true of their print files).
