By the time I found pf, I'd moved my heavy document production to
ms-dos and UNIX.  My main interest is producing human-readable
versions of docs distributed in pf form.

Ever since I set up the Drivewire Epson emulator I've been setting all
my OS-9 programs to use it.  Most of the text formatters / word
processors came with an Epson config file. Now that I have pf
co-operating all that's left, I believe is, is tsfmt. ;-)

1.1 and 1.2 docs.

Yes, I was quite happy when I actually looked through the sr5000
driver definition and it was epson.
