Will Automatic Emulation Software Work With W |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: Does Automatic Emulation Software by IBM work with WordPerfect printer drivers in WordPerfect for Windows? Solutions: The AES works like a capture statement. It redirects the output to the printer. A TSR is started at DOS to set this up. If you use a port like LPT1 in Windows the TSR will not work because Windows takes control of printing and does not let the TSR have a chance to do its job. If you set the port to LPTn.xxx (where n is the port number and xxx is any three characters), Windows thinks you are printing to a file and sends the print job to the file. Once it gets to DOS it is sent to the port because LPTn is a reserved name. Because DOS sends it to the port, the TSR can redirect the output like it is set up to do. This will work with Windows printer drivers or WP printer drivers. |
