Re: PDOX 4.5 PRINT FILE LPT3 "not enough disk space"

Further developments - We've had another "incident", this time without
2GB fix, and with the revised implemention that uses PRINT FILE to a
buffer: When COPYing the buffer file to LPT3, only the first part of
the file goes to the (network) printer. The rest is lost, and the
print queue is empty.

At the time of the failure, I was able to duplicate this behavior from
a command line using COPY BufferFile LPT3 /B, with XP reporting "1 file
copied". However, COPYing the same file directly to the printer's UNC
name works fine! I've re-tested each way with 100% consistency.

So, the problem seems to be with the NET USE connection between the
local LPT3 port and the network printer. And whatever is causing that
file loss was presumably triggering the "Not Enough Memory" error with
the previous PRINT FILE LPT3 implementation.

Anyway, COPY to the unc seems to resolve the problem. Although the
(intermitent) NET USE failure mystery remains.
