For those who may have missed it, the question was how to print using a printer connected to someone else's computer. Printing to a file, transporting the disk, then copying the file from the disk to the printer was giving partial output. The solution, as given to me via email from an extremely helpful person(TM), is to use the /b switch when using the DOS COPY program to send the file to the printer. Without this switch, the COPY program ignores everything after an EOL character. With it, my files printed perfectly. -Gary -- |Gary Brainin |BITNET: garygm%leland.stanford.edu@stanford| |garygm@leland.stanford.edu |UUCP: ...decwrl!leland.stanford.edu!garygm | |"...the right to be let alone-the most comprehensive of rights and the right | |most valued by civilized men."
