Try PRINT from DOS.
HELP Print for docs.
The PRINT program has been with DOS a very long time but hardly anyout uses it.
I personally prefer PRINT-Q.

Hi Tech-Fred. Tks for yr response but what I'm looking for is a TSR prog which will intercept all activity directed to the printer (probably thru' Interrupt) and write it to a disk file while printing from the disk file. In the good-old-days running what was then called multi-programming the spooling prog ran in something like 2k and completely took over all printer activities. Tks again for yr response, I'll keep looking.

See posting 11516 we were discussing it back there.
