I thought you were a DAP member? Isn't this in the DAP library?

No its not!
I agree! Actually, we DO NOT need more .INF files telling us how to
press a LMB, we need clear minimalist statements of what things actually
do! UNFORMATTED, so we can format it using our own favorite tool, and
print it on our own hard copy devices.
Preformatted text for American paper sizes on IBM non-standard printers
is no more use that documentation in latin. And most of the engineering
industry in Europe has PCL and NOT postscript.

Is there a book with this stuff in? I mean for UKL25, not an IBM $700
offering!

Andrew
