 Does anyone know anything about device drivers for the 8-bits?
 Does anyone know of anyone who does?  I have only been using the net for short
 while so tell me if i missed anything on device drivers.

    I intend to write a window driver for the XL/XE.  I will write it in action.
 As of now i have a proportional spacing subroutine under development; it prints
 using the standard atari character set in graphics mode 8.  The minimum number
 of characters it will print on the screen are 45(fat letters). The max 80(thin
 characters).
