   A while back there were some requests for the ability to capture printer
output in a file.  At the time, I thought it would require a new printer
device, but later I thought of another way to do it.  I called it Cmd
(same name as the command on our 8-bits for redirecting output).

   I've been working on this thing in my spare time for almost two
months.  Sorry it took so long, but I don't get much spare time.
Since glory is my only reward, I've been in a panic, that like Leo,
I would be beaten to the punch.  So I'm posting it here.

   I'll be posting 2 messages - one containing the sources and uuencoded
icon, the other the uuencoded icon and executable.  The icon already has
the ToolTypes args set up.  I tried to send them to amiga-binaries-request
and amiga-sources-request.  My path looked fine, but no luck.

   I'd like to thank Andy for his idea of temporarily replacing the Expunge
vector to protect my modified device from expungement between OpenDevice's.
Also for some spotting novice bugs in my assembler code.
