Well, these are two items that have kept me somewhat stumped, I hope
someone can help me out.

1) I have configured OS2's printer/spooler to use the generic PSCRIPT
driver and to write the output thereof to a file.  This works fine. 
What I want to do is setup my DOS apps ie WordPerfect, Quattro, etc etc
to print to a particular LPT port, lets say #2, and OS2 which will be
monitoring the ports will automatically intercept the output and reroute
to a file, also asking for a target file name.  Can this be done?  In
other words, can OS2 act like NOVELL and intercept particular ports?

2) I read somewhere on this board that there was a util to RESET a
tokenring card as if it were done by a system reboot.  Can anyone tell
me where to find it?  So far my searches have revealed nothing.  HELP!!!

Thanks for all insights and contributions.
