+1. What is this?
+
+	This is a dvi driver for epson 9-pin dot matrix.  It was built from
+the mctex package, which is found in the standard TeX distribution.
+
+	I converted all the source to c++.  This was done mostly to
+catch some portability problems when I built this for MSDOS.
+
+	Next, I added the epson driver which is in the eps directory.
+This driver is designed to use 240 x 216 dpi fonts.  I have included
+the standard U_WASH.mf set of Metafont modes, which includes the
+setting for building epson fonts.
+
+	I also modified the mctex code to allow for separate vertical
+and horizontal dpi, since my epson is 240 x 216.
+
+	Just to wet your appetite I am including the necessary fonts
+to print 'sample.tex'.  If you want other fonts you'll need to use
+Metafont to make them.  You may have defs for this in your 'modes.mf',
+under 'EpsonMXFX'.  The only set of fonts I have for epson is far too
+extensive for any possible use, and I haven't had time to weed through
+them to eliminate seldom-used stuff.  If anyone has a handy way to
+build just a minimal set of TeX and LaTeX fonts please let me know.
+
+Note: You must really be desperate to print TeX on your epson.  This
+is never going to look like a laser printer.  And I hope you have lots
+of time on your hands to wait for the printout, cause you'll need it.
+I must really be desperate to write this.  But if you really must try
+this, you'll probably get as good a result out of your epson as is
+possible.
+
+2. You'll need to install a fontdesc file to describe the location of
+your fonts.  Here's mine:
+
+font	pk	epson	3	/usr/local/lib/tex/fonts/epson/%m/%f.pk
+
+I put this file in '/usr/local/lib/tex/fonts/fontdesc'.  You may want
+to make /usr/local/lib/tex a symlink to wherever TeX lives (/usr/TeX,
+maybe?)  This says that the font cmr10 at 240x216 dpi can be found at
+'/usr/local/lib/tex/fonts/epson/240/cmr10.pk'.   This is the
+convention used by TeX software on MSDOS.  Actually, I think its a
+good one.  But feel free to change it.
+
+3. Supported printers?  I don't know.  It works on my Panasonic
+kx-1080i.  Other epson 9-pin compatibles might work.  My printer
+accepts the code 'esc-f0#' where # is a number of spaces to skip.  I
+called this the HasFastSpace switch (-f).  Some epson-types don't seem
+to accept this.  It's not really needed anyway, so it's off by
+default.
+
+Oh yes, typing eps will give you the usage.
+
+Oh, one more thing.  On my 0.99.7 system I can't get /dev/lp1 to work
+unless I say 'lpcntl /dev/lp1 7' to turn on the interrupt code.
+Otherwise I get all kinds of errors when I send a reset code to the
+printer.
+
+4. Questions:
+
+"Why should I use this instead of dvips + ghostscript?"
+
+Because it uses a special set of bitmaps fonts made just for the 9-pin
+epson (240 x 216 dpi).  The results are much better quality.  Or
+should I say, much less bad quality?
+

+etc. to

+
+6. Someone please teach me to write recursive make files.
