I have a similar problem, but with the COM1 port; I'm occasionally using PagePlanner, a desktop-publishing kind of program (don't ask why I'm using it instead of Ventura or PageMaker; I just have to use it for some reasons). It produces PostScript on the COM1 port, which is usually connected to a PostScript printer. From time to time, I need to capture that PostScript output to a file on a diskette to send to a print shop with a photo- typesetter that understands PostScript. PagePlanner has no way to redirect the output to anything but COMx, and the print shop doesn't have PagePlanner. I'd be most interested in get to know about a program of some kind that can capture the output sent to the COM1 port and place it in a file. -- Robert Claeson E-mail: rclaeson@erbe.se ERBE DATA AB

I have the source code to a prn redirector utility that can be modified easily to redirect other ports.
