that...."

Eye-Q, in other respects an excellent program in its day, had a similar
problem! In its case I wanted to place my pretty graphics into spaces left
for the purpose in Quill documents. [Don't get too excited - this entailed
reinserting texted pages into the printer.] And the prior setting of the
(Epson LX-80) printer margin to centralise a graphic was always ignored by
the standard Eye-Q program. A parallel problem to yours, it seems.
It annoyed me much at the time...... .
I first used DP's EDITOR SE to search for Epson reset strings within the
Eye-Q code. I found none! (:<0. I concluded that the different code
elements being searched for were not adjacent to each other - though
they would be in there somewhere - and in a correct order.
So I wrote a SuperBasic program! (with reporting facilities). In
short, it searches for sequences of three stipulated bytes in a file.
Then, back to The EDITOR. Overwrite the offending bytes with nulls, save
and run.
This gave me my own version of Eye-Q; I could now place graphics where I
wanted and my career progressed accordingly (:>). Don't knock it..! this
was 11 years ago!
The SB program "FindSeqntlBytes_bas" (my ref: UD1/92): 20,037bytes/ 476
uncompiled lines. There is probably a better one in QUANTA's Library but
I'd be very happy to e the code to you Robert (and anyone else on the list)
if you think it may help.
All the best in solving the problem,
John in Wales
Now nearly recovered from the disinfectant... hic!
