Just use the stdio library functions (fprintf, fwrite, fputc, etc.) and give 'stdprn' as the FILE pointer. This stream is automagically opened for you just like stdin, stdout and stderr. There is also stdaux which is supposed to handle the serial port but then you have to depend on the MSDOS serial routines. Yechh. This of course is entirely non-portable but so what else is new in MDSDOS programming. I have redirected followups as this is a system specific question. -- D'Arcy J.M.
