I would like to be able to capture stuff that is to be printed and put it
in a file instead.  Is there any easy way to redirect PRN: to a file that
the DOS manual doesn't mention, or is there a TSR around that will
intercept the stuff and do it for you?  The only solution I have come up
with is to connect two computers with a null-modem and redirect PRN: to
COM1: and use a communications program to capture the input, but this is
obviously not the way it should be done.  Thanks for any help you can
provide.
