RE: RPGII help

Printronix?  Who said printronix?  We had three of those attached to our 
Sys38 before
we had PC's.  I did have a color monitor - but it was still just a ws.  Is 
the brand still out there?
I vaguely remember one RPG program I did that wrote a printer file where 
the column headings
were at a 45 degree angle on the page.  It was quite amazing - at least to 
us.  :)

What fun ;-)

One of the more interesting things I did was working with the ORIGINAL
PC/Support on the S/38 in the pre-AS/400 days... We did product labeling 
for
all outgoing materials. That consisted of Printonix highspeed impact
printers attached to PC's. Using software from Wallace call Printware it
consisted of a main labeling design and printing application but also had 
a
utility application for loading data into a file for Printware to use. I
started playing around with that and by the time it was done, they would
request labels on the S/38 side and it would download it to the PC, run it
through the utility software and load up the Printware label printing
software and "away they would go". It wasn't until YEARS latter that 
"Client
Server" started being tossed around. Talk about BLEEDING edge and I say 
this
humbly - it was a TRIP. That was on the original IBM PC so memory was
"interesting", twin-ax attached, limited disk space (20MB HD on PC), etc.
I'VE paid my dues <VBG>

I had to do the same thing many years ago when I had to write RPG/II on
a PC and talk to laser printers.
