yea the like of TEXT, TEXTMERGE and so on.

This so old school. Was a good way under DOS.
I've started with 3.0 under Windows, and we had frx at this time.

But this is a real pain to control, you know nothing about the printer, even if he understand ESC/P codes. Could be a just GDI that understand nothing to anything.
frx is a nice stroll compared to this. :)
