- There is no print redirector in the PC/TCP for OS/2 so far.
- What you can do (and what I usually do) is to redirect an
- output into a file. Then you can use 'lpr' to print it (you
- don't need any option to print the file)

- PC/TCP for OS/2 includes NETLIB.DLL which maps the
- PC/TCP for DOS interface (net_... functions) onto the
- socket one. However, this is not a complete mapping
- (asynchronous calls are not supported).
