  12.           Remarks:  The IBM text-graphics characters (non-
  13.                     standard ASCII 176-223 and 254) programmers
  14.                     often use to make their screen displays look
  15.                     more attractive cannot be handled by many
  16.                     printers.  PRSWAP.COM is a memory-resident
  17.                     program that translates these characters into
