Hello Managers,

I'm have an application running on one of my Tru64 boxes which generates
text files to print with escape sequences at the beginning and at the end of
the files.

Till now the files were sent to a printer on an OpenVMS system where the
file was processed by DCPS.

I'm trying to avoid this transfer and to send the file directly to the
printer.

I've used printconfig and modified slightly the lines in the printcap and
I'm able to print the test and other text files.

But when I send one of my file with escape sequences I've only page with
squares.

Is there a way to process correctly these files ?

Thank you for your help.

Regards

Daniel
