Thanks for the reply. I can't quite convince myself to learn another
programing language. Heck, I can't covince myself to write more code in a
language I used to know.
I took the easy way out. I resurrected an old Dot Matrix printer and ran
the
programs in a DOS boot system. As it turns out, The programs will run in
windows ME with the Dot Matrix printer connected, except that the the last
line
of the printout which is a page feed only does a line feed. Not a real
problem
even if I didn't have a DOS boot system.
