When you do a write(lst, chr(26)) in Turbo Pascal 4.00 the character 26
(Ctrl-Z) gets lost.  This is absolutely fatal when you're printing
special codes, and VERY annoying when you're doing printer-graphics
(which is how the bug introduced itself).
This same code works alright in TP3.

The bug's probably in the Printer unit, (it just occured to me though,
that Write itself might be faulty). 

...

And a question:

Now that compiler directives $g and $p are no longer with us, has anyone
figured out how to do redirection in TP4?
