Thank you to all who responded to my query about the ThinkJet(TJ) and
Epson compatibility (including one person from HP, thanks for listening
HP!).

My ThinkJet arrived on 17 Jan 86 (Fri).  Here is a short list of what works
and what doesn't in the TJ Epson mode (HP calls it "Alternate Mode"). 

Works in TJ Epson compatibility mode:
---------------------------------
STSC APL*PLUS/PC   APL chars print fine in ThinkJet Epson mode
WordPerfect 4.1    Works as expected
Lotus 1-2-3 Version 1A   graphics dump works just fine
InSet demo program Works as expected

Does not work with Epson compatibility mode:
-----===-----------------------------------
Microsoft Windows
	This was a real disappointment.  I've become very fond of Windows and
	found it very useful with Arity Prolog.  Unfortunately, Windows
	does not directly support the ThinkJet (although it does support
	various HP plotters and LaserJets).  I tried installing the
	Epson MX-80 w/Graftrax driver and the IBM Graphics Printer driver
	hoping that they would work with the TJ in the Epson mode but no
	luck.

	Gabe Newell of Microsoft responded to the plea for help that
	appeared in the ARPA Info-IBMPC digest version of this posting
	and told me that the problem is due to the fact that the HP ThinkJet
	Epson emulation is less than perfect.  Microsoft does not have
	a ThinkJet driver for Windows yet.

Thanks..todd
