Short for PrintForm, written originally by someone I can't recall, but it 
was a bit limited, and well enough organized that I did the next half dozen 
updates, adding printer capabilities as my printers changed over time.

He gets credits in the docs, I'm the 'maintainer' I guess.
With a config file to match your printers abilities, it can do some fairly 
fancy stuff on paper.

I've not put it on my web page, didn't think there was any interest in it 
these days since the pin pounders are about all worn out, and the command 
structures for the more modern printers are hidden in a manual that if even 
available, carries a price tag often exceeding that of the printer.  Trade 
secrets yadda yadda, jerks.

But when I can revive drivewire with the new version just sent out, I'll 
try to remember to do that.

sz -b still works so its coming up the serial cable right now.

When I get it moved to the web page, it will be in Genes-os9-stf as 
pf3_0.lzh, compressed with lha-2.11c I believe.  Its there, 18+ years old 
now.  The archive is about 72k, Have fun.
