Re[2]: [ct-user] Printing CT files under Windows 98

[Ron Notarius]

     However, while Dan is absolutely right, some versions of PRINT.EXE are 
     DOS-version specific; if the DOS version doesn't match (& for Win 98 
     it's DOS 7.1... even tho the date stamps don't match Win 95B which is 
     also DOS 7.1...) it won't run.  If this is the case, you can either 
     fiddle around with SETVER.EXE or check Micro$oft'$ web page for a more 
     up-to-date version of PRINT.EXE.  Some of the OEM CD's also have the 
     old DOS external programs on them.

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.
