for some strange reason, W98 , w95, & NT all work a bit different!

I use aprinters() to figure out the REAL name & port of the printer, and use the returned values to copy files, seems to work in all environments!

I use this to control dot matrix ticket printers, where even a single extra linefeed or reset would be fatal !

the array lets me see if the printer is local or not, and if not, I can't control the printer ! So I send a file to the remote site and let IT"S print routines handle it !
