Re: Printing .LIS file from DOS prompt

[Tony DeLia <tdelia@EROLS.COM>]

Parijit,
   You may need to do a little more than copy your output to LPT1. Not
much more so you can still be a lazy bum if you like. You may need to
capture the printer port on your workstation. Either through Printer
Setup OR in DOS==> net use LPT1: \\............. (network path)
then in DOS ==> type REPORT.LIS > LPT1

If you don't want to be a lazy bum you can use a Windows Batch Language
(Called WINBatch) to create an SQR Print Utility. I'll be posting one I
created on my Website soon... http://www.erols.com/tdelia/sqr.html
Through a GUI Interface you can select and print your *.LIS file.

I highly recommend WinBatch...

                                  -Tony DeLia

PS - I'm not affiliated with WinBatch! I just think it's a great
product!
