I am interested in being able to capture the printer port and redirect it to a file. In other words make the info going to the printer be saved in a file instead. Are there and utils for this, or is there a simple Prefs or AmigaDOS command that I missed along the way? Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.

It can capture either single shot or continuously anything that get sent to PRT:. -Rusty- -- Rusty Haddock / CompSci Dept DOMAIN: rusty@mimsy.cs.umd.edu University of Maryland PATH: {uunet,rutgers}!mimsy!rusty If someone points a quad-vectored, hyper-thermic, cosmic blaster at you it's a safe bet that you're about to become toast.

If the software doesn't write directly to the port hardware, you can use the program CMD found on every Workbench since 1.3. -- Best regards, Dr. Peter Kittel // E-Mail to \\ Only my personal opinions...
