This is LaserMatrix printer driver. It is a smart, interpolating driver for high-density
dot-matrix printouts. I don't recommend it for all purposes, it is terribly slow ;)

To build a .cvt GEOS binary you need crossassembler ACME v0.07 (at least). ACME is portable,
and you might use it in MS-DOS but you will probably have to change filenames to shorter ones.

Before you try to compile the LaserMatrix you should get a list of printcodes for your printer
and set the codes and definitions at the top of LaserMatrix-2.1.tas file. The comments and
example config for CP-80 (near to Epsons) should make this obvious.

After you have prepared own version compile LaserMatrix by typing:

$ acme LaserMatrix-hdr.tas

and voila! You have now lmatrix21.cvt file ready to be moved to GEOS environment and
converted using Convert v2.5
(anyway, you might use make also...)

The author of original LaserMatrix printer driver (you can find the dissassembling in
LaserMatrix-2.0.tas source) is Bill Prendergast.
I made some enhancements, speed-ups and moved everything to crossdevelopment environment,
but it shouldn't be too hard to convert the sources into GeoAssembler format.
