If I use one of the disk write operations to PRN, will the data get printed? I'd try it, but my new computer dosen't have blitz on it.

Dunno but isn't it PRT?

Writing to the PRN and COM port no longer exists in Windows and hence not in Blitz either. Sending things to the com or printer port is very very complicated. Your best better is Writeline to create a text file and than pass it as a command line parameter to program than can print it via the EXE comand.

Check out Kanati's B3D/Blitz+ Printer DLL (amongst other potentially useful things).

Free too, if that helps.
