Hi, I am new to the net, and have an MS-DOS related question. If the question has been asked before, please excuse me. I am trying to find a way to redirect parallel printer output to a file. I would like to run something to redirect the output to a file, then I would like to run a program that sends output to PRN, then when the program completes, I would like to reset printer output to the printer (or reboot, whichever is appropriate). Does anyone know of a command in MS-DOS 3.3 or of an available utility that will do this for me? Thanks in advance Blake Holman Ericsson Network Systems, Inc. Richardson, Tx. (214) 997-6784

You'll find an answer to this, and many similar questions in /pc/ts/tsfaq20.arc. The wares are available by anonymous ftp from garbo.uwasa.fi, Vaasa, Finland, 128.214.12.37, or by using our mail server (use the latter if, and only if you don't have anonymous ftp). If you are not familiar with anonymous ftp or mail servers, I am prepared to send prerecorded instructions on request. (If you don't get the instructions from me within a few days, it will mean that your email address cannot be reached by a simple email reply. It that case, contact your system manager for devicing a proper mail path for you, because unless you do, you wouldn't be able to utilize the mail server anyway. If you are in North America first consider using an ftp site near you to spare the overseas load.) ...................................................................
