Puh-leeze.
I scoff in your general direction, Richard. I used to do Operator Duty on
the 1403. ("Now, where did I leave my coffee? I see we're <splash> out of
paper. Oh, yes, now I remember where I left it...") :-) I was going on
the rash assumption that David's printer wasn't so old as to require a
physical carriage control (the thing the FCB replaced).
If we're talking about emulated printers with built-in FCBs, then the
DEFFCB option may suffice. The problem, of course, is that it is
emulating a printer that an FCB to work. And CP "knows" that. Such is
the reality of emulating old hardware. Maybe if it emulated a 1403...
