HELP FILE FOR MAKVFU    26-OCT-79

MAKVFU produces the binary VFU image files for LPTSPL to load  into  the
LP05,  LP07  or  LP14 line printer Vertical Format Units.  The VFU image
describes a maximum of 8 (1-8) channels and 143 lines for the LP07,  and
9 channels (1-8,12) and 143 lines for the LP05 and LP14.  The user types
