I would like to print a file from within CLOE (a subset of
CL by Symbolics that runs on a PC). I am using CLOE 4.0
with CLIM 1.1. I would like to simply do one of two things.
Either open the printer as a file when running on the PC, and
write directly to the printer. Or, I can easily write the file
to the disk. I could then call the DOS function
'cat file > PRN'. I realize that this second option requires
an FFI, and that there is a demo verion supplied with
CLOE 4.0. However, I would think that there must be an
easier way than the 7 or eight files used to do the simple
example that they provide.
I would greatly! appreciate any information anyone has on
doing something similar in CLOE. (Please, no responses for
Lucid, Allegro, etc. They each have their own FFI.) I have
contacted Symbolics, but was hoping someone on the net might
have already done something similar. (There is no CLOE
news group.)
Please reply via email. Thanks for any help.
