- Hmm, now all someone needs to do is write a turbodriver filter for RisciX to
- rearrange the bits so that each character prints out correctly. Should be
- very straightforward. Insert something into printcap so that all output goes
- to |/usr/lib/tdhack > /dev/lp.

- I wont be writing it as I dont have a turbodriver, but I'm sure someone
- will be interested in a filter to do this.
