Here is a tip for printing out multiple files in the
background:
Instead of using the silly print spooler found on
AMICUS_#8, use one of the built in AmigaDOS commands,
'join'. The join command is used to 'join' multiple files
together into a single file. Well, how about 'joining'
multiple files together into the printer file?
Thus to print out five files in a row to the printer, in
the background, simply type:
"run join file1 file2 file3 file4 file5 AS prt:"
where file1 through file5 are the five file names to be
printed.
Finally, if you wish to have each file separated, make a
file called 'ff' ( already in this directory ) which
contains just a form feed. Then type:
"run join file1 ff file2 ff file3 ff file4 ff file5 AS prt:".
