I have just recently downloaded FPC / Lazarus with the plan of porting
some Delphi 7 programs (Windows XP). Then I am encountering some some
errors where I thought was a trivial task.
I want to print the contents of a plain text file to the default
printer, adding some frills like page headers and such to the pages in
the process. What I have done is to include Printers in a uses
declaration, and declare Prn as a type TextFile. Then something like:
AssignPrn(Prn);
Rewrite (Prn);
for ... begin
writeln (Prn, ....);
end;
Closefile (Prn);
Then I find that there is no such thing as "AssignPrn". I have to add
that I have used Delphi 7 and its predecessors for a long time and may
have acquired bad habits which work under Delphi 7 but is doubtful.
Is it possible for someone to provide a code snippet for this seemingly
trivial task?
Tom
