Where did you get your Sea Dos viewer? The Sea Dos home page doesn't seem to be active anymore. One site had a FREE download but when I tried it a message box came up and said Your karma is very bad why don't you do something productive. Sea Dos sounds like good software but looks like its history

My printer is an old PCL 6 command language printer. Just send it a simple PCL string and it will do anything I want. New win printers have all their smarts removed and placed in a windows file. Windows now does what the inner works of the printer use to do. It forces you to use windows. cheers

Don't under estimate the usefulness of DOS. When I was still working, the engineers tried to use windows to collect data fron sensors. After many tries they gave up and switched to DOS, which did a very nice job of it. One thing Freedos might do is make some changes so that it can compete with QNX
