[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Sprint problem

Sprint problem:

ONCE, and only once, I set my print option to print pages 7 thru 9, and now
whenever I start it up, all it wants to do, until I manually reset it
EVERY time I want to print, is just to print pages 7 thru 9.

The obvious solution is to reload the program files again, but I don't want
to do it every time I have to print a few pages from a file.  Of course,
I can leave a ZIP file of the original files handy, but it seems to be a pain
in the butt to reload them after EVERY custom job.

Flame time: Sprint can be so aggravating sometimes.  It seems to also
randomly decide to give me a warning that something is already beyond its
tab stop while printing, putting the 'offending' text on the next line.
And the line looks just like any other that it doesn't complain about.
Borland must either have shoddy executables, or the user interface needs
work by, who else, the users.  I guess that's a way to make experts out
of everybody: make the poor users have to change the interface (since that's
obviously why we bought it since it couldn't stand on its own two feet w/o
that 'feature').

Well, this will be the third time I'll have to reload the program files.
I once called Borland about another problem, and that was their solution.

Well, I guess that's what I get for buying any version 1.0.  Silly me.

Time to save up for PCWrite.
