SWAPLPT.COM
by
Chris Lindberg
This simple .COM file is used to swap the port addresses of LPT1
and LPT2. This utility is handy when you have two different printers
attached to your IBM PC.
Because this utility is called from DOS (and not BASIC), it is best
used in AUTOEXEC.BAT files when using .EXE or .COM programs that
don't let you specify which parallel printer is to be used. To use it
in an AUTOEXEC.BAT file, just enter the following while in DOS:
A>copy con:autoexec.bat [Return]
swaplpt [Return]
....next command [Return]
....and so on [Return]
