Re: How do I create overlays on v7.4

I was able to use box and line to get what I needed.
It was slower than an overlay but this way anyone can maintain it.

Thanks

Overlays are still created the same way - you use a printer driver in windows to "print" the source, then copy to the i, then run the CRTOVL command, I think it is.

The drivers are now obtained from Ricoh, IIRC.

Subject: How do I create overlays on v7.4

Its been a long time since I created an overlay and IBM changed something on
how to create the overlays.



Does anyone know what the procedure is or is there a way using the DDS in a
printer file that will let me create boxes and lines?



TIA
