I am using it right now except that I customized it a bit. I added a cursor and a printing option. I made a cursor by making line 50 read : 50 PRINT #1,X$;"_";CHR$(29); I made it print by using a flag to send it to a seperate subroutine that used an LPRINT to print the info when I press ctrl-P and stops when I press ctrl-O. I am working on a capture option. I prefer it to the comm. program that was supplied in Deskmate for my computer. I can load it up in 3 seconds and Deskmate takes at least a minute. The only problem is though is that it makes an annoying buzz whenever I press return. Why is that?

Msg 45511 is 21 line(s) on 02/24/92 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to ROY LIPSCOMB re: R/HIGH-CAPCTY DJ INK CARTRIDGE No, the double-life cartridge is much more simple - instead of the ink being in a foam block - where the foam takes quite a bit of the "space", it is a bladder - 100% ink, not 50% foam, 50% ink. At least that's what I heard. P.S. as to the RAM cartridge, what are you going to use for a Helvetica font? The cartridge itself is NOT useful (that's one of the reasons I offered it ;-) without a soft font package, purchased from HP or from others such as Gary Elfring. What software are you going to use to drive it if not a Windows appl? The complexity of proportional-spaced fonts means you need software that explicitly drives the DeskJet. Windiws on a 640K original AT? Right, Windows 3 at least, would kill it. --- Speaking of half-the-ink, as you were in your msg, I think the only thing like that is the "draft" button, which causes every-other-dot (horizontally) to be skipped. This causes default Courier to look about like a slightly- used ribbon would print on a good 24-pin printer. (it isn't that great for 6-point font, because the line widths are too narrow - you can't afford to drop 1/2. BUT draft mode IS more economical for just its name sake - draft. (or listings, etc). Many people wish there were a switch to default to draft.

Have been looking to a voice response board, but haven't found any sales people who know even what I'm talking about. I have an option of picking up a Dialogic board but they are $$$$ as apposed to others that are out on the market..... Msg 45513 is 05 line(s) on 02/24/92 from AL HIGGINS to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/HIGH-CAPCTY DJ INK CARTRIDGE for what it's worth I just picked up a couple of the larger ink cartridges at ET the other day. I went through the other cartridges in 2-3 wks each. I've learned to print in draft till I'm ready for the final print. Will let you know how long the new cartridge works. The price as arround $23+ for for the double, and $17 or $18 for a single. Hope prices come down soon!

Msg 45516 is 07 line(s) on 02/26/92 from ROY LIPSCOMB to WARD re: R/HIGH-CAPCTY DJ INK CARTRIDGE If the high-capacity cartridge uses a bladder instead of foam, I wonder-- 1) Why they used foam in the first place. 2) If the high-capacity cartridge is re-inkable. . I plan to use a shareware downloadable font. By the way, the package came today. Nice labels! Thanks again.
