Is it possible to catch serial transmission to a file? Yes, but not as simple. You need to establish the pty link with 'socat' program. But this feature is quite simple to add. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

That's the way that lpr works under dosemu. It's my understanding that the objective is to print a whole page at a time because that's how modern printers work. Since most dos programs don't send a page end/page break, dosemu just waits for a few seconds to see if anything more is coming; if not the page is assumed complete and send it to the printer. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
