Vendors and products See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge You are asking about shareware, freeware, or public-domain programs, right? Commercial software is not legally distributed through the net, in general. (Occasionally vendors will make patches available, but these are useful only to upgrade software you already own.) That said, the quickest way to find a program you are looking for is to use a WWW search utility such as Google at <http://www.google.com>. There are also several newsgroups to help you find a program. comp.binaries.ibm.pc.wanted is generally the best place to ask your question. Please review the guidelines in <Q:01.12> [What other technical newsgroups should I know about?] User Contributions: 1 Ben in Seattle ⚠ Jun 2, 2026 @ 4:16 pm 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.
