I have been migrating a client from the DOS version to the Windows version
of R:Base

After playing with the latest version I have a enhancement request.

I have just spent 4 days trying to make the windows version of R:Base 
print to a dot matrix printer and have the printer print at full speed.

I thank all of you on the list who responded to my earlier posting.

I tried ALL of the tricks to make it work. 
It just plain does not work!

As soon as I stepped back to use a DOS version with the old report in the
new database everything worked perfect.
I have had to write a wrapper to ZIP out to DOS print the report and come
back to the Windows version.
This works but it it is a kludge at best. I want a solution to print
directly from windows, 
rather than use my hodgepodge of code to make it work.

Three things are required:

1: Include the report designer from the Dos version with the windows version
of R:Base.

2: A way to flag a reports be a DOS report, so it does not get "Upgraded" to
a windows report
   and does not appear in the Windows Report Designer menu.

3: A new print command, DOSPRINT that works like the PRINT command to print
reports 
   from the DOS system rather than the Windows System

Thanks,
Fred Antrobus
