All of my old MSDOS programs operate properly with my new
computer and it's Windows XP operating system. However, I
cannot get any of them to print directly. All of these
MSDOS programs would print directly when they were used on
my old Windows 98 operating system.
Is there any way that I can make my MSDOS programs print
directly using my Windows XP system? If not is there any
way that I can "print" to a separate DOS file and then
return to the Windows XP direct screen and print an output?

Sincerely yours,
Bill

Printing from a DOS program under XP is possible, but not guaranteed in
all circumstances. See http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/printfromdos.htm

Printing to a file might be an option in the program itself.
