Hi folks,
Just to follow up, we have a resolution of the problems I wrote about
yesterday.
When my colleague installed Dux on the new machine he left the "Treat As
Interpoint" box checked, which he had turned off on his previous machine.
Unchecking the Interpoint box seems to have fixed things.
Also we learned that on Dell machines "PS/2" is the equivalent to the SPP
(standard Parellel port) BIOS option.
So Bill Gates is off the hook. No incompatibility with Win XP.

<<One of my colleagues just got a new workstation running Win XP. He moved
his previously-working-great Juliet over to the new system & started having
problems.
Sometimes he is able to get readable text from the Juliet, but usually it
is garbled. He also gets multiple form feeds at the end of a document.
This is using the Generic Text printer to send to the Juliet. He tried a
variety of page & line settings, but without effect.
Tech support from Enabling agrees that it's probably a parallel port
problem. Apparently there is no SPP option in the BIOS for the parallel
port (just EPP, ECP, AT & Off).
Apparently Enabling say that it's a problem with some XP machines (I didn't
talk to them directly). I haven't heard about this kind of OS-wide trouble
before. Has anyone else run into embosser craziness in XP? Any difference
between Enabling machines & the Index ones?>>
