If so, could somebody mail it to me (I can't FTP)? I use a TSR called PRN2FILE to redirect printer output to disk file. I just tried loading it and redirecting to 'nul'. I pressed PRTSCR and watched the cursor scan my screen. No file called 'c:\nul' appeared, (though the program claimed to be redirecting to that name). Seems to work. It's available from simtel. -jeff-
