Currently I have printing from Xchange with no Driver formatting to a disk file which I am then picking up with a Windows program printfile from http://www.lerup.com/printfile. This will spool text (or indeed postscript) to a GDI printer.
This means that all I need to do is instruct my user to print to file with a particular .??? name for the file. It is now working. A better solution would allow Underlining, Bold and all those other good things but the hole is now (temporarily) fixed. so I might try MPS next. I don't do C myself so I'm not much at porting anything. I will try to have a go with MPS - should be educational. Any hints on where to find it? Tony Gordon
