[comp.sys.ibm.pc] VMS Services for MSDOS Problem.

sam@ncsuvx.ncsu.edu (Samuel A. Moore) (05/03/88)

Problem using VMS Services for MSDOS:

I am trying to print a file on the VMS side, one of the MSDOS drives that
is actually on a VAX drive, using 'print'. It doesn't work. It hangs. I have
to re-boot. I can 'type' the same file. I can 'print' a file on one of my
PC drives.

Ideas?

 Did you try:
		type filename | print
			or
		type filename > LPT:

This does not work.

This doesn't work. I have given up on print.
