Subject: MSK 3.14: set printer lpt1:
Date: 16 Oct 1995 11:52:04 -0400
Organization: Queen's University, Kingston
Lines: 21
Message-Id: <45tv34$pq5@ccs-sparc2.queensu.ca>
Nntp-Posting-Host: ccs-sparc2.ccs
Apparently-To: kermit.misc@watsun.cc.columbia.edu
If I give the command
set printer lpt1:
to MSK 3.14 it dumps a bunch of gibberish to my screen. I get this effect
even if I start kermit with no initialization file
kermit -f nul
or with an initialization file that installs the patches for 21 May 1994
(patch level 9) and does nothing else.
The gibberish appears to be an attempt to print an error message that isn't
there so MSK dumps whatever is there up to the first null. If I omit the
colon MSK responds as expected.
