RevG Specific

I've got a copy of REVG that has an application that I am recreating in OpenInsight.

It'd sure be nice to send the printer output to a file.

It looks like there is some sort of PDISK that came on a supplemental disk. I think my 5 1/4" disks are long gone.

Anyone know how I can get this utility and/or refresh me on how to use it?

By far the easiest way is to change the program from say

Perform "PDISK Filename"

Printer On

Print EscSeq : Value

Print EscSeq : Value

Printer Off

Perform "PDISK Prn"

To be

PrintString =EscSeq : Value

PrintString := EscSeq : Value

OsWrite PrintString On FileName

now we have no 64K limit
