Re: type versus Copy in DOS



2. Harry had said that when he tried to use type to redirect a file to an
lpt port, the file displayed on screen.
No, either I mis-wrote or you mis-read. The point was that "Type test.txt"
displayed the file, but redirecting it to LPT2, via "Type test.txt > LPT2"
didn't print it, but gave me a new C:\ prompt, indicating it completed.
