hi there,

     Two questions:

     1) How do you have windows display the output of a non-windows
application in a window, like a compiler, etc.... I'm looking for something
similar to what happens when you make a PIF for the DOSPROMPT thing
that specifies output going to a window. 

      2) Im having trouble using the printeraas described in the
Software Development Books. I have tried printing to the printer
(HPLaserjet III and Apple Laserprinter) over a network(LANtastic) and
directly from the machine, but the driver or something is converting
all the tabs into funny characters. Strangely enough this doesnt
happen if I use the filemanager or the notepad to printout. any idea
on what im dong wrong?

                                                 pogo
