JMAC PRINDIR Version 8.03 Users Guide and Reference Manual
INTRODUCTION:
Welcome to Version 8.03 of PRINDIR, the BEST printer redirection
program available! PRINDIR is a TSR program that will allow you to
redirect the output of any standard COM or LPT port to any other COM
or LPT port, as well as to disk files and to the display. In
addition, PRINDIR allows you to specify the full path and file name
for disk file redirection, thus it is possible to redirect to any file
or logical device. The main program offers an easy to use Popup
Parameter Menu from which the user can quickly and easily set program
options. PRINDIR can make use of expanded and extended memory on
systems so equipped, making its conventional memory footprint even
smaller. PRINDIR also includes several small support utilities to
help you customize PRINDIR to meet your needs. PRINDIR is fast,
intuitive, easy to use, and can be utilized to solve many different
types of problems. Only your imagination will limit what you can do
with PRINDIR.

Allen Creations, and is user supported through Shareware registration.
Technical support is provided via phone, email, U.S. mail, or any
other means possible. Registered users are rewarded with very cheap
upgrades to any future version which is released after the version
they register.
