I have been looking over and trying Lance's DOSPrint, and I
wonder if it is the answer to my project.
I am working on a Cemetery recording application for people
with DOS programs, but run under Window operating systems. I
expect to share (i.e., give away) about 50 copies, but after
that would start asking people for something- perhaps $10.00
per copy.
Buying a copy of DOSPrint and including it with my program is
not the answer. It would make Lance mad to say nothing of being
illegal. So.... is there another option?
I have tried printing to a text file, and then use a batch file
to print the text file, but controlling the output becomes an
issue at this point. Sometimes my desired output is not lined
up on the printer end.
I can work with portrait mode output, but I really would like
to print sideways- hence my interest in DOSPrint- but it is a
commercial product.
If I can print 128 characters per line (hence the sideways
preferance)from Powerbasic, then I have the printing issue
resolved. 128 characters per line can be achieved with something
that will print 13CPI.
Thanks for any suggestions.
