PRINTFIL &lcFileName where PRINTFIL.BAT contains: @echo off copy /b %1 lpt1 erase %1 exit This copies the file, in binary mode (bypassing any Chr(26)s that it sees) to the LPT1 port. You can substitute any valid port for this. The exit at the end is to ensure that Windows '95 closes the DOS box. It's ugly to watch, but it works better than anything else I've tried. /Paul
