# Mscript/Tasman Interface Patch Correction

Correction for the Thomas Woods patch making MSCRIPT work with the Tasman Centronics interface: after applying the patch, PRINT PEEK 42637 (should return 12), then POKE 42637,10, then PRINT USR 36864. This eliminates erroneous form-feeds after each printed line. Also requests reader input on stopping the final form-feed after a complete document.
