Hello John!

Replying to a message of John Beal to Erik Huelsmann:

Well, I do have the port-_objects_, but that is just a WPS matter, there is
on the OS/2 commandline no change whatsoever. That is my problem. In the
internals of OS/2 I want to create devices LPT4(-9) that are accessable
from DOS/OS/2 commandlines. Then I can get faxworks to redirect the input
to itself, but when I dont have any of these devices the problem of no
ports available stays (in the dos-box, that is).


Bye, Erik!
