Hi all,
my apologies to the list. I seem to have stirred in a can of worms.
For some reason, I have the impression that top-posting, and leaving
the "line" intact that hotmail inserts, seems to keep the lines correct
in the original posting. This is the experiment for it, allthough we
do not prefer top-posting.
Yes, it is "Henk", not "Hank".
Indeed, I am using Hotmail which is "upgraded" to "Windows Live".
I can not remember that quoted replies were mashed up like they did
yesterday, but then again, I am not a frequent poster :-)
So, as an experiment, I will repeat this posting with adding some text
at the bottom, BUT I will re-run the original posting, concatenating
the lines and entering "Enter" to seperate them again.
I have written the LA180 page (partly) and put it on my site.
Go to www.pdp-11.nl and navigate to:
peripherals -> comm -> printers -> LA180
