It never rains, but.. For a colleague this time, the details are sketchy, but a fluent C programmer (under U*IX) needs to gen up on TSRs and intercepting interrupts on PCs. Since this may find itself in a 386/*IX environment (NOT SCO UNIX (R) due to problems with PCNFS) - are there any pitfalls he should beware of? We have PC, C, and *NIX experience, but not all combined at once.. In case it makes any difference, this particular one is probably for commercial use, though it's unlikely that any of you would find yourself using it (read: having paid for it) unless you're in the printing industry. Thanks once again, Dave E.

I also reccommend The MSDOS Encyclopedia by Microsoft Press. LPTx is a printer redirection program which takes output destined for the line printer and puts it into a disk file. Good for capturing output of programs which do not give a print to disk option. You can call my BBS setup for the distribution of LPTx. It has a USR HST to answer at 1200, 2400, and 9600 baud. You can call and download LPTx v7.00. -- Mark C.
