Print is a DOS command (actually uses PRINT.EXE). If you copy this file to
your new machine that should work. You also should be able to use the
'built-in' DOS COPY command (COPY FILENAME LPT1:). You can also use NOTEPAD
to load in the file and print under Win98. For this remember to remove the
default margins and make them wider or you will have a weird printout.
