1. Printing on a NT network
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.
Jesus.

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.
