[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Redirecting program output to file

barkdoll@cattell.psych.upenn.edu (Edwin Barkdoll) (01/05/90)

	I am running a database searching program that provides the
option of printing search results from within the program -- nothing
unusual about that.  I want to redirect the output that would normally
be driected to the printer to a file that i could print at my leisure,
transfer to another machine etc.  Is there some way to temporarily
assign a file to an LPTx: port?
	Please email responses. Thanks.

LPTx is a printer redirection program which takes output destined for
the line printer and puts it into a disk file. Good for capturing output
of programs which do not give a print to disk option.

You can call my BBS setup for the distribution of LPTx.  It has a USR
HST to answer at 1200, 2400, and 9600 baud.  You can call and download
LPTx v7.00.
