Windows 95 and above users

To print information from MS-DOS to the printer the '> LPTx' command needs to be used after the command typed. This tells the computer to reroute all information to the appropriate LPT port, x represent the number. An example and most commonly used command is:

DIR > LPT1

This command tells the computer to print a directory listing, however, instead of printing it to the screen, send it to the printer which is located on LPT1.

This command can also be used to print files by using the type command, for example:

TYPE FILE.TXT > LPT1

If, however, multiple files need to be printed, using the copy command can also be used. Below is an example:

COPY /B *.TXT LPT1

The above example will copy all txt or text files in the current directory to the lpt1 port.

What about saving the Word (.doc) file to a .txt file (Example: File1.doc to File1.txt)? Then, at the Command Prompt, type print File1.txt

Oracle database connection to sql server






I am trying to get Oracle 9i to talk to Sql Server (which is on another
office) without much success.



I have tried following the many tutorials on heterogeneous Services ODBC
agent. but they seem geared for oracle speaking to Sql server on the same
machine.



Any bright sparks that can point me in the right direction??



I am more of a developer than a dba so please make it easy to follow..



Thanks in advance.

Jason
