I need to find out how to redirect printer output to a specified MS DOS 
file.  I don't have access to the source code of the program that makes 
the printer calls, so I can't just change the program to write to disk 
as well as print.  Basically, each time a line is printed, a line 
should be appended to the specified file, preferably both at once. 
Since the computer is dedicated to one task, I'm not really worried 
about interfering with other task
