Thanks Daniele and all others, the story continues: this Rbase for Dos 6.1a application is running on Win NT 4.0, and I would prefer a solution where I don't have to go into every line of code that says output printer and change it to output lpt2 or output lpt2:
When the program now says OUTPUT PRINTER it automatically defaults to lpt1: Is there some way to change this so OUTPUT PRINTER defaults to LPT2: ? There must be some SET operand somewhere? Or some clever parameter you can put on the Rbase command line? Anybody know any tricks for this? Anyway, I'll keep looking.... meanwhile, maybe someone knows?
