I am trying to port an old MS-DOS program and I have run into a stumbling 
block.  The Mess Dos program wrote directly to the printer.  I can't seem 
to find much information on how to print from a program.  Can anyone 
recommend information on a web page or a book that I can learn more?  Or 
am I just making this too hard? 
 
Thanks
