[comp.windows.ms] Local Talk

I am using LOCAL TALK to do printing with windows3. I use the APPLE
print service software, the Apple card, in a 286 clone. To get it
to work I load the apple stuff at bootup. I creat a port in WIN.INI called
lpt3.prn (this is a major part of the trick) and set printer handshaking
to "software". So far we have not found a true win3 localtalk app like
there was for win2 but at least I can print out the net without creating
print files.
