- The PRNTCHK programs were developed to prevent the DBASE user from
- being returned to DOS in the event the printer was off or off-line.
-
- Unfortunately, they will not work in regular versions of DBASE. The
- "EXE" version may work in the developers version but it has not been
- tested. The "EXE" version will lock up the PC if run from the DOS
- prompt.
-
- The "COM" version will test the status of the printer when run from DOS
- and wait until the printer is ready. If you don't have a parallel
- printer attached the effect will be to also lock up your PC.
