PATCHING WORDSTAR FOR PRINTING TO ALTERNATE PORTS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
WORDSTAR can be configured for either serial or parallel
|
|||
|
|
printing, yet it makes no provision for specifying which serial
|
|||
|
|
or parallel port to be used. It defaults to COM1:, and LPT1:.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The patches provided below are for WORDSTAR Version 3.3, and allow
|
|||
|
|
one to use COM2:, or LPT2: or LPT3: for printer output.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Patching for COM2: use;
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Install WS.COM as you would for COM1:, with the necessary
|
|||
|
|
parameters for your printer. Then at the DOS prompt, enter
|
|||
|
|
DEBUG as shown and enter the the following commands.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
DEBUG WS.COM <Return>
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
W <Return>
|
|||
|
|
Q <Return>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

WORDSTAR is then patched for COM2: use.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Patching for LPT2:, or LPT3: use;
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

|
|||
|
|
DOS prompt, enter DEBUG as shown and enter the commands as
|
|||
|
|
shown.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For LPT2:, type;
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
