Would that be a later release of the OMNI driver (collection) ?

I have this program (PRNDRV), and can send it to you. However, I'd say beware:
the one time I ran it, it created some printer havoc on my W4 system -- not at
all what I was expecting. I don't recall the exact details now, but it took a
fair amount of cleanup to remedy. Make sure you have everything backed up (the
System INIs, with UniMaint) before you use this.

Incidentally, I believe the OS/2 BBS has long had a certain (modest) quantity
of free d/l's possible per day, *for those who connect to it via Dialup.* That
arrangement may still exist, and would be fine for a small item such as this.
I was a paid subscriber there for several years, but they never sent me a
renewal notice in 2003, so it lapsed. One thing I like to do is to d/l their
full catalog every couple of months. No charge for that, no matter how you
connect. This allows me to confirm whether or not they have a particular item
I'm looking for, before I ever go there.
