[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] printer redirection

udp_tech@fennel.cc.uwa.oz.au (03/12/91)

Bob Miorelli of Pratt & Whitney Aircraft was looking for a
printer re-director to write the output from LPT1 to a file
to trap printer output for subsequent "massaging" before sending
to his chosen printer.  I, too, have had a similar requirement
and a local shareware library had three such programme{s.  I have
used the third, PRNDSK, very successfully, although the others
should be worth a try.  For reasons which I can't recall at this
time, PRNDSK seemed the better choice.

(dated 1984, only address listed is UCLA/OAC -- good luck)

LPTX by Mark DiVecchio, 9067 Hillery Drive San Diego CA 92126

PRNDSK by David H. Rifkind, 3993 North Campbell Avenue, Tucson
Arizona 85719.  This one is dated 1987 and I KNOW it works well.

Hope this is some help, Bob and others.
