  Feels good, doesn't it? I've had pretty good luck with the "Teach
  Youself" book that came with D3. I've been putting together some
  little programs for a seminar the company is putting on in August so I
  got D3 and have been doing come crunch work.
  Yyou may be interested in a little printer unit I've done. It lets you
  specify TextOut coordinates in inches instead of pixels, and it takes
  the printer resolution into account. Thus a line printed at 1 inch
  down and 1.5 inches over prints in the same place on your 300 dpi
  printer as on your 1200 dpi typesetter.
  Another feature is a WriteLine procedure. It keeps track of what
  you've put on the page and subsequent calls work just like WriteLn on
  a DOS printer (i.e.: on the next line or next page if needed). Font
  size is even taken into account.
  This unit is a work in progress with new features to be added but I'll
  post it if you like.
