I'm trying to print from inside EUPHORIA to my network printer. (I use NT 4.0). From the command line, I use to redirect the output this way: anycommand >\\ntoys\hp4si where ntoys is my server's name and hp4si is the queuename. And that works. When I try the same inside an Euphoria program, (like EPRINT.EX) I always get an error (-1) when opening the printer: printer = open("\\\\ntoys\\hp4si", "w") Does anyone know why?. Thanks.

Euphoria is running on the part of NT that emulates DOS. I don't have access to an NT machine right now, but I suspect that this kind of path name is just not supported for DOS programs on NT. The WIN32 version of Euphoria will not have this problem. It will be a full-fledged WIN32 program, able to access all of the features of NT and Win95. I hope to have a WIN32 alpha release in a few months. Regards, Rob Craig Rapid Deployment Software
