 Many books answer this in detail. Among them are {Advanced MS-DOS} and
 {DOS 5: A Developer's Guide}, cited in the preceding Q. Michael
 Tischer's {PC System Programming}, ISBN 1-55755-036-0, has an extensive
 treatment, as does Dettman and Kyle's {DOS Programmer's Reference: 2d
 Edition}, ISBN 0-88022-458-4. For a really in-depth treatment, look for
 a specialized book like Robert Lai's {Writing MS-DOS Device Drivers},
 ISBN 0-201-13185-4.

Another solution is to use a parallel port loopback plug. It makes the PC think there is a printer attached. The benefit of this is it doesn't require anticipating the problem with ANSI.SYS escape sequences nor does it make you wait half an hour for the "Abort, Retry, Ignore?" prompt, as some versions of DOS do.
