Some users of a C/C++ program I wrote are having a problem printing
to LPT1 in a DOS app when it runs under Windows for Workgroups.  The
program uses fopen() to open the LPT1 device in "w" (write) mode.  The
fopen() fails to open the device.

When the user exits to DOS and uses the COPY or PRINT command, output
correctly goes to the printer.

Should they use LPT1.DOS or something like that?

I'd greatly appreciate any advice on this.

Please respond via email if possible (kbennett@cpcug.org).
