WYSIWYG
A technology that allows memory to be expanded
more than the actual main memory of the computer.
When Windows is used in Enhanced mode with an
i386 (SX) or newer CPU, a part of the hard disk is
used as a swap file and a part of the information
stored in the main memory is stored in the swap file
thereby virtually expanding the capacity of the main
memory.

SuperScript only works with Windows 3.1 in
Enhanced Mode.

on the printer with exactly the same attributes. It
means that what is displayed on the screen will be
output exactly produced by the printer.
