Well folks, as promised heres my summary (since there was little interest)

Some people suggested using external echo commands (xecho, etc) which are
available for anonymous ftp from various sites. This is not useful for me
since I am not using echo only.

Another person suggested trying an embedded backspace which might erase the
CR/LF characters in the file. I did try this before posting and could not get
it to work.

The most useful suggestion was to concatenate the strings in the dos environment
and then output the variable to a text file. I will try this (albeit clumsy)
method as soon as I have the time.

Thanks for the replies

   For those who may have missed it, the question was how to print
using a printer connected to someone else's computer.  Printing to a
file, transporting the disk, then copying the file from the disk to
the printer was giving partial output.

   The solution, as given to me via email from an extremely helpful
person(TM), is to use the /b switch when using the DOS COPY program to
send the file to the printer.  Without this switch, the COPY program
ignores everything after an EOL character.  With it, my files printed
perfectly.

The DOS "COPY" command has a built-in set of rules about whether to
use ASCII or BINARY mode as a default.  It uses BINARY mode whenever a
simple image copy is known to be safe.  Otherwise, it assumes ASCII
mode.  Thus:

    1.	Copying a single file to another single file is done in binary;
	whatever the old image represented, the copy wil be just the
	same.

    2.	A many-to-many copy (using wildcards) is also done in binary,
	since it is just multiple instances of case 1.

    3.	Concatenating multiple files onto a single target defaults to
	ASCII, since there may be terminating CTRL-Z characters that
	need to be stripped out in order to make a valid ASCII target.

    4.	Copying to a target device "known" to be ASCII is, of course,
	performed in ASCII mode.  (... and we all know that printers,
	COM ports, and the like are ASCII devices, right?  Well, "COPY"
	is pretty certain that they are, anyway.)

Binary and ASCII modes are a relic of the CP/M filesystem, with which
DOS still maintains a degree of compatibility (and you thought that
8088 compatibility was the only boat anchor that DOS was still dragging
along!).

DOS backup is definitely garbage.  After demonstating DOS backup
and a good backup program like Fastback, only the cheapest of
the cheap continue to use DOS backup instead of investing
in a decent program.

        MY WINDOWS DOES NOT FIND MY MOUSE!
                
        OK, I know running Windows software doesn't make much
        sense if one has 12KHz AT with 1meg of RAM... However,
        I do need to run some programs every now and then.
 
        I used to have my serial mouse in com-port 1, but it had
        to be moved to com-port 3 as I added some new devices
        which _need_ to be in ports 1 and 2 ( they don't "know"
        any other ). 
 
        Then I re-install Windows, both from the very beginning
        and with saved configuration - but no mice anywhere! Back
        to ms-dos, and the mouse is present and ready to go.
 
        My com-ports are:
 
        COM 1 address 3F8, irq 4   an extra printer, has to be in
                                   com 1 or 2
        COM 2         2F8  irq 3   modem, must be in com 1 or 2
        COM 3         3E8  irq 4   mouse
        COM 4         2E8  irq 3   ham radio packet modem
 
        Printer and modem are so oldfashioned they must be in ports
        1 and 2, but howcome Windows cannot find mice in 3 or 4?
 
        Any suggestions what to do to modify windows.ini and system.ini,
        or whatever is needed.
 
                thanks in advance,

Keywords: batch file parameters and filenames with minus sign

Hello there,

Yesterday I encountered a strange behaviour of MS-DOS 5.0. I tried to write a
batch file that takes a string as input, adds an extension to it (.tex in my
case), and then processes the corresponding file further. One of my files is 
called cc-1.tex. When calling the batch file with the argument "cc-1" only the
"cc" was recognized, and the "-1" was ignored. On the other hand, strings of the
form "cc0-" is processed correctly, as is a string of the form "cc_1". 

Could anybody please shed some light on this strange behaviour? Thanks!

Sorry if this looks a bit strange.  My editor is real dumb.

I have just begun using UNIX.  Although I HATE learning the new commands,
&, nohup and at are very usefull.  For you non-unix types (suchas I used
to be), & runs a program in the background, nohup continues to run a
program after signoff and at runs a program at a predetermined time.

I DO NOT want windows or any other  windowing system.  Is there any way to
 get these commands (or something else with similar purpose) in msdos
short of either writing them myself or switching to 386bsd?  I have heard
of a unix like shell for the AppleII gs platform.  It seems like if in can
be done on a gs, It should be possible in msdos.  I guess nohup isn't too
important, since you really can't log off of a pc.

I would appreciate an address of who to write for a catalog, if you can
find it.
Thanks,
Andy

Funny. Before I bought my PC, I did my homework on an MSX2 home-computer,
which runs MSX-DOS (but usually MSX-BASIC :-). MSX-DOS (1.11 or so) is
nothing but a stripped down MS-DOS: it does not have directories, just COPY,
DEL, REN, PAUSE, TYPE and a bit more. At the MSX-DOS prompt, a filename
containing a minus is also not properly recognized:
	COPY A:cc-0.tex B:	did not work, I had to do
	COPY A:cc?0.tex B:
Applications do not seem to suffer from this strange behaviour.

Unfortunately, I have no solution, but the above shows that it might not be
just an MS-DOS 5.0 error...

Oh, why don't you use a TSR which constantly fills the unused memory
with '1's?
In case of a power fail you could read this memory and put the energy
of 1MByte of '1's in the power-supply to do a panic-backup :-)

Remember: the more free memory you have, the longer the machine
will work without additional energy!

Subject: Loading Stacker into a specific memory location?
Organization: University of Montana
Date: Mon, 23 Nov 1992 20:19:28 GMT

Has anyone found a way to make Stacker load into a specific place in
memory?  It seems to load at a different place depending on how my
config.sys is loaded.  

When I use Stacker and Qemm together, my machine simply reboots itself
continually.  If I can stick Stacker in a certain place and make sure
Qemm doesn't touch it, I'll be fine. 

I'd really like to get this figured out so that I can use DesqView/X on
my system.  Thanks for any help you all can give.

- Jason
