- For all you MSDOS wizards out there. Maybe a stupid question.
- I have an application that prints out data from a very old DB system.
- I need to get the output of a list from the database in a flat file.
- (THe database is very old, and i have no DB access routines)
-
- I can print pre-made lists. But they always go to the printer.
- Is there aneasy way for me to intercept the stuff going to the printer
- and route it to go to a file.
-
- The program directly prints to the printer port.
-
- Any ideas.????
-
- All help is very much apreciated.!
-
- Hank Janssen.
