subject: Printing a .bin file

TC>  TM-> Try this (not tested)
TC>  TM-> OPEN "filename" FOR BINARY AS #1 BUFFER$ = SPACE$(LOF(1)) GET
#1, ,
TC>  TM-> BUFFER$ LPRINT BUFFER$;
TC>  This works too - has been tested:
TC> START:
TC>       INPUT "Name of file you wish to print: "; NA$
TC>       INPUT "Number of copies                "; NUMOFCOPIES
TC>         FOR I = 1 TO NUMOFCOPIES
TC>         OPEN NA$ FOR INPUT AS #1
TC>       DO
TC>         LINE INPUT #1, LINEOFTEXT$
TC>         LPRINT LINEOFTEXT$
TC>         LOOP UNTIL EOF(1)
     This does not work for me.  Remember, I said the
file was a binary file, not a text file.  It was
created by telling WordPerfect to print to disk instead
of paper and the file will print properly in DOS using:
PRINT filename
     It will also print properly from QB if I SHELL to
the above command, but will not do so until I either
stay in SHELL or exit the program - and whatever I do I
can't seem to be able to print other stuff on the same
page.
