After I un-arc a download I'm unable to run the program from Cli. I've
attempted to run each file and all I get is 'unable to load not a object
module'.Also how do direct the output from the docs to my printer from Cli?
Thanks for any help you can provide. Sanford
Sanford,
Many of the files are not runnable by themselves…they are data files
used by other programs such as picture files that need a paint or show program
to view them. Music files need a player program and so forth.
To re-direct the output of a text file to the printer there are several
commands that can be used:
copy <filename> to prt:
copy <filename> to par:
type < prt: <filename>
type < par: <filename>
Use par: if you don't want the text run thru a printer drive and use
prt: if you want it run thru a printer driver (for special effects such as
underlining, bold, etc.). Normaly the text files we have here are straight
ASCII text with nothing special in them so par: works just fine. The copy just
dumps the file straight to the printer (par: or prt:) and type does the
equivalent by re-directing the screen output to the printer.

Don't you have your redirection the wrong way in your "type" commands? i.e.
type > prt: …
Douglas,
Whoops…you're absolutely right…I'll go leave an ammendment to my
original message….that's what I get for being here when I'm tired!
Thanks!
Don
Stanford,
As one of the members pointed out to me…I made a mistake in the
examples I gave you:
type > par: <filename>
type > prt: <filename>
is correct…I had typed in the wrong redirection symbol (I used an '<'
instead of '>' ).
