All suppliers are given in Electro-Erosion Printers a final section. The old tables have been replaced by simplified Agfa P400 tables which indicate the existence of a driver for a DVIP400 (by Bernd Schulze). Uses PXL files. Allows given printer/computer combination by referring to landscape printing and inclusion of P400 bitmap the page number on which that combination's listing graphics. Written in WEB.

These tables, which begin on page 567, can therefore be used as an index IBM MVS into the listings. DVIP400 (by Bernd Schulze). See description above.
