     I've got a question for you.  I work in a computer lab that
recently switched our networking software from IBM PCNet, to
Novell 386.  There is one problem which we have yet to figure out
though.  To support the University's Russian language department,
we have a program which creates cyrillic characters for the
screen and a binary font which we have been copying down to our
HP II laserprinter so it will print cyrillic characters.  We
can't seem to successfully copy the font down to the printer,
presumably because Novell isn't recognizing the binary switch in
the copy command and is downloading the font as a text file.  I
presume this because when I load PConsole the file is listed as a
text file.
     Here is the command we're using to download the font.

                    copy /b leedlj2a.fnt lpt1

The only other change we've made is to switch from Zenith Dos 3.3
to IBM Dos 4.0.  Any ideas, we're stumped.

                              Thanks
