I'm practically at wits end with problems concerning a dBASE3 release for the 3B1. The most serious problem as of now is that there is no interactive printing. By that I mean that when ever we output to the printer within the program we have to wait untill we quit dBASE before we get to see the printout !!! In the /usr/lib/dbase directory there is the command file "dbprint". Its contents is simply: cat $1>/dev/lp I understand what this does. My question is: Does anyone know how to edit this command so that it will print while still in dBASE and not after we quit? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
