Does anyone have a suggestion for a TSR and related library that allow
forms control oriented background printing under DOS, and that has the
performance capabilities that would approach driving a parallel or serial
printer under Xenix??  

We have a Xenix package that does a lot of printing.  It is used in a DOS
environment (not too many UNIX knowledgeable folks, none usually...)
Things would be a lot easier on the users if this entire application were
ported to DOS.  All of that is easy except that I use lp for managing
printing to diverse preprinted forms and stock paper.  I don't relish
rewriting that portion of code, and I definitely would rather not reinvent
the wheel.  What a waste of good ATP..

Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions, please email or post or send
brochures.

Thanks,

Weaver
