Re: printing

Hello,

I printed from Dosemu before in earlier versions.  Thus, I do not
think that there is compatibility issue.
When I want my DOS application to print on screen it creates .prn
file. Indeed, I would be happy if I could print that .prn file to my
printer :)
I do notr have so7uce of that application. Otherwise, I would publish it.

Best wishes,


Vedran
