DIAGNOSTICS

Cryptic Messages such as L3/16 indicate that an uncatered for code has been sent (24 have yet to be identified). More interesting messages such as 'Sequence Bell Logo is not allowed' are also printed. There are five of these cases. However, some illegal sequences are intercepted and used as additional font information.  

BUGS

Like all hacks, there are plenty.
The code is highly inefficient.
Many Special characters are Wrong.
Eqn(1) & Tbl(1) are not 100% compatible.
