# Quick Print Your Pro/File & Tasword Files

One day as I was drumming my fingers on the desktop while waiting for my Tasword tape to load, I began thinking how ridiculous it was to be loading the whole program just to print out one page of a form or letter. All that I really needed was a printer driver and a short routine to read the file bytes and line-feeds into it. (If your I.F. has ап onboard universal driver, you can skip the next paragraphs and adjust the listings accordingly.)
