Can anybody who is using Windows95 to access Pine (via Telnet, of course)
please get in touch with me!  I'm finding it impossible to print messages
and wondering at this point if it's even possible to print using Win95...

Thanks alot!

Greg:

A common problem that I had my share of frustration with also!  The
packaged emulator that ships with Win95 does not accept the printer
control codes that are passed when you "print-from-ansi".  You need a
different emulator.  Here are two I suggest, both free, and work great:

http://www.lysator.liu.se/~zander/ewan.html	EWAN Terminal Emulator
Not much of a looker, but a great, dependable product. (I'm using it now!)

http://www.hilgraeve.com/htpe.html		HyperTerminal Upgrade
This company wrote the HyperTerminal applet that shipped with Win95, but
as it stands, it doesn't support Telnet.  This upgrade does, and has some
other cool enhancements. It's called the HyperTerminal Private Edition.

*Both* of the above support printer control codes and print great.  My
preference is for the HyperTerminal upgrade.  I find it easier to format
the page for printing, and you can set margins, etc. (much like a word
processor).  But, try 'em both out.  Both downloads are less than 1 meg, I
believe, and both are good products for different reasons.  Try and
decide.

Hope this helps!  Regards,

Greg --

Been there. Done that.  Works OK.  Right now, I am telnetted to my email
system (via EWAN).  I can print locally or to a system printer.

Also, I have the 32-bit version of PINE operational -- can do printing to
both locally attached and system printers.

You can contact me via email or land line (630 844 5290).
