[aside]

Surely I'm not the only one who remembers word processors that came with
a setup file that looked like this:

.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
.bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb.
.cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc.
 ... etc

that you had to print proportionally, measure between the dots on each
line, and key the results into a driver file?

Or am I very old indeed?        ;-)
