* harbour/source/rtl/set.c
! do not add .prn extension to printer/extra filenames if file name
is one of well known device name: PRN, LPT[1-3], COM[1-9]
This code is enabled only for OS2 builds where it's necessary
but maybe MS-Windows/DOS users should think about adding it to
their builds too because sometimes also DOS/Win does not recognize
correctly device name when it has extension.
It work fine using PRN, LPT1
Now printing in OS/2 is enabled
a) Can you add OS/2 to cases and set LPT1 as default ?
/* Default printer device */
#if defined(HB_OS_UNIX)
hb_set.HB_SET_PRINTFILE = hb_strdup( "|lpr" );
#elif defined(HB_OS_DOS)
hb_set.HB_SET_PRINTFILE = hb_strdup( "PRN" );
#elif defined(HB_OS_WIN_32)
hb_set.HB_SET_PRINTFILE = hb_strdup( "LPT1" );
#else
hb_set.HB_SET_PRINTFILE = hb_strdup( "PRN" ); /* TOFIX */
#endif
b) Can you add CON to device list to avoid extension ?
Norton Guide say:
------------------------------------
If the destination is a device, the following names are valid:
LPT1, LPT2, LPT3 (all parallel ports), COM1, and COM2 (serial ports),
CON and PRN. The default device is PRN.
------------------------------------
I tested SET PRINTER TO CON in Clipper and work fine, sending output to
console
In Harbour it create CON.prn
c) I strongly suggest to enable your code to avoid extension in all OS
derived from DOS, which recognize/use same devices names
It will suppress those prn.prn, lpt1.prn errors which are sometimes very
often
Note: I do not remember have seen them in DOS, but in Win are often
