| 166111 | 2003-08-08 05:23:00 | It's a great time saver. That's why some dot matrix printers had a "bidirectional mode". Saves the time for carriage return in each line. :D Or not. |

| 166116 | 2003-08-08 20:33:00 | Bet no-one ever produced a digital device that printed in a spiral (see "Phaistos Disk"). However an interesting Unicode proposal (together with a drawing of both sides of the disk) is at: unicode.org Argus |

| 166117 | 2003-08-09 02:58:00 | But printing in a spiral is one of the "standard" PostScript examples ... the output looks quite nice. You can even have the type size diminishing as you work in to the centre. :D | Graham L (2) | ||
