Hi Malkie,
I'm running DP under VDos on Win7-64 also, and I have it printing
through DPSpool. It works just fine.
The key is to configure VDos so that it can send output to a folder that
is available to programs running outside of VDos. That means the folder
name has to conform to the 8.3 standard. In my case, I set VDos to map
C: to the actual C: drive. Then I created a folder named C:\DPSPOOL.
That's where the DPSpool program is and where I have DP send its print
job files.
So my VDos 'autoexec.txt' file looks like this:
-----
USE C: C:\
PATH Z:\;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32
C:
CD \SHELL40
CALL GO.BAT
EXIT
-----
In the C:\SHELL40 folder, I have the WP-Shell program (which I run DP
under for the benefit of macros, etc.). The C:\SHELL40\GO.BAT file looks
like this:
-----
@echo off
C:
\DPSpool\DPSpool.exe GO
cd \SHELL40
MC.EXE /w=25 SHELL.COM
\DPSpool\DPSpool.exe FINISH
cls
-----
So the GO.BAT starts up DPSpool, then runs Shell (from which I run DP).
When I finish and exit from Shell, it automatically shuts down DPSpool.
If you don't want to run DP under Shell, you can adjust the GO.BAT file
to run DP directly instead.

DataPerfect is working fine with VDos on Window7-64 bit but lately I'm having
some
trouble printing. In Win98 DPspool worked beautifully. Now I'm trying to run
DPspool
on Win7 but cannot figure out how to do it and how it "knows" to pick up the
file
from DP since I haven't used it for years,
Any help would be very much appreciated.
