Huh?  TT4DOS modifies the WP printer resource files; and WP has to
format its documents for whatever printer's being used, even a 300
dpi HP Series II being different, to it, from a 300 dpi IIP, for
example.  Beyond whatever it does when it does that, 12 point type
should be 12 point type and 1" margins should be 1" margins.

One out of two isn't bad.  Since TT fonts are mathematical 
representations (called outlines) of the rendered font, printer 
resolution can and should make a significance in both the horizontal and 
vertical spacing of the font.  If TT4DOS works properly, it should 
create different font matrix info when modifying a 600 dpi printer 
driver than when modifying a 300 dpi printer's driver.

The thing about BG was that he was a martinet with respect to how
others should conduct themselves in HIS echoes but felt he could do
(and did) whatever he ... well pleased in others' echoes.
