  22. In dispchar.h, change the line
  23.  
  24.               rightones[HOST_WORD_SIZE - 1 - bits_to_next] &
  25. to
  26.               rightones[bits_to_next] &

  28. This code is not active for non 32-bit machines, or the  IBM
  29. PC, and the  local 32-bit Unix  machines running the  driver
  30. family have been  using only the  laser printer members,  so
  31. the bug was not caught until we actually tried DVIPRX output
  32. under VAX VMS.   The effect  it has is  that large  vertical
  33. white streaks  appear in  the output  bitmap; dispchar()  is
  34. used by all the low-resolution dot matrix printers.
