I have ordered TCP/IP software for DOS from Wollongong. One of the things I would like to do is have the PCs share a printer tied to a Unix host. To do this, I think I need to capture output from the devices lptx: and re-route it into an rsh <sysname> lp type command. I've seen programs that captured lptx: output and put it into a file, so I assume this may be possible. Does someone know how to accomplish this? Is there software, commercial or otherwise to do this? Thanks! -- +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Michael Lodman Mike.Lodman@SanDiego.NCR.COM | | NCR Corporation - Distributed Systems Lab - San Diego | | 9900 Old Grove Rd.

It has a command, PRINTER, that allows you to redirect output from DOS or applications to UNIX printers. Michael J.
