the fix is always in the details
"dos app" isnt enough detail for anyone of the knowlegable people to help
try the printer settings within the application to see if there is an option
to print to file.

I'm trying to export recipes from an old DOS recipe program called
Cook, and I think printing to a text file looks like my best bet.

So I setup a printer that prints to file, and set it to the default
printer, but the DOS app ignores it and tries to print to LPT1.

Anyone have any hints as how I might be able to print to a text file
using the DOS app's "print" option?

I thought maybe there's an answer that involves capture, but it's not a
network setup, so I don't know if that's relevant.

Thanks so much.
Kate
